COAST, the COAST smokes brand, entered a partnership with Midwest Food and Tobacco Group for a long-term distribution deal. COAST is able to expand beyond their strong West Coast footprint by the group, which is one of the leading tobacco and smokeables distributors in the US. COAST is currently distributed in 1500 stores but expects this partnership to help them hit 5,000 by the end of the year.
Kurt Lauden, MWFTG's business development director, said we had been searching for the right CBD smokes brand when we came across COAST. We were immediately drawn to their team's passion and drive. After working with them for the last few months, we believe that COAST has the highest quality smokes on the market and the community and the buzz they have created online is second to none. COAST reported that they were excited to work with the company whose distribution efforts span over 3,000 locations across South and North Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, where they see an engaged and sophisticated customer base from their active Instagram account.
