SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NorCal Cannabis ("NorCal" or the "Company"), one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis operators in California, today unveiled six new consumer brands at the annual Hall of Flowers conference and tradeshow in Santa Rosa, Calif. The six brands, which consist of in-house brands as well as partnerships with cultural icons and local artisans, were developed based on unique insights from the largest-ever survey of cannabis consumers in California and are purposefully designed to meet a variety of segments and need-states.
With more than 1,000 employees, 2,000 daily deliveries and an annualized run rate of more than $100 million in revenue, NorCal is among California's largest cannabis producers and retailers. The Company plans to leverage the brands to build on its leadership position and reach its goal of becoming the state's largest consumer-reach platform.
Details on the new brands are as follows:

lolo was created to deliver a lasting high, at low cost. lolo's product and packaging are sourced with value in mind so that NorCal can pass along that value to customers.
In addition to the six new brands, NorCal is launching a cannabis brand in joint venture with comedian, entrepreneur, author, and activist Chelsea Handler. The brand will include products specifically developed by Handler and focuses on the needs of female cannabis consumers.
"Given the diversity of California and its nearly 40 million residents, NorCal believes multiple brands are both key to best serving consumers across the state and unlocking its maximum value," said Doug Cortina, CEO of NorCal. "With the largest consumer delivery platform of any operator in the state, NorCal can deliver these six new brands across our network and reach 25 million consumers in 60 minutes or less."
