Oasis Cannabis General Manager, Lissa Lawatsch noted that “While 2020 was difficult for Las Vegas, lower tourism encouraged locals to patronize the shops that served them specifically. Especially after the holidays, we knew we wanted to provide accessibly priced products to our community. This is what we’ve always done, and it has continued to serve us well through these first months of 2021”.

Throughout the month of February, Oasis also continued to support the local community with promotions for frontline healthcare workers and significant discounts on in-demand items.

Along with this increase in retail revenue at Oasis, City Trees’ revenue from third party sales increased by 51.39% year-over-year, from $240,941.19 in February 2020 to $364,764.69 in February 2021.

The Company’s toll processing division, Trichome Harvest Company, also completed several transactions for notable extraction brands with multi-state operations. Andrew Glashow, President & COO of CLS noted, “With the addition of this division, expanding product catalog from City Trees, and continued growth of Oasis Cannabis, CLS has seen growing interest in its operations and continues to share its philosophy across various industry channels”.
