Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - January 12, 2022 - Blackhawk Growth Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:BLR) (CSE:BLR) (Frankfurt:0JJ) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, TERP Wholesale, LLC ("TERP") has received its California State-issued micro-business license. In addition to allowing TERP to operate as a non-storefront retail delivery dispensary, this license provides strategic opportunities to expand in additional verticals such as manufacturing and distribution. The dispensary is located in Northern California and will be a key driver for the business. This expansion will also allow deployment of TERP's manufactured products directly into the hands of retail customers.

Non-storefront retail delivery provides the convenience that many consumers and patients appreciate with the benefit of quality cannabis products manufactured by TERP. Cannabis delivery businesses play a critical role in the state of California and have now been labeled as an essential business, creating a large demand for home delivery. At the moment, 75% of the cities in California do not allow the sale or operations of cannabis businesses within their city. However, deliveries are able to capitalize on this opportunity and freely advertise and deliver to customers in these municipalities. Non-storefront retail sales will account for a significant portion of California's projected $5 billion dollar marketplace this year.

"There is limitless upside with our non-storefront dispensary " says Nate Awbrey, Founder of TERP Wholesale, LLC. "We are in a huge metropolitan market and being able to offer wholesale prices to customers will provide amazing value to end users and allow expansion of our distribution footprint, which will provide crucial support of our house-brands and suppliers. It is one of the most unique license types and allows true vertical integration by giving us the ability to buy bulk commodities, make a product, and sell that product to a customer, without necessitating transfers to other businesses, and the taxes associated with those transactions. This will create stronger profit margins for TERP, while offering prices to consumers that will be lower, providing a key market advantage. This license also completes the value-added statement to TERP's operations of being a brand house and platform to manufacture products such as infused pre-rolls, and artisan products such as live rosin and inject them directly into the market on a wholesale and retail level" continues Mr. Awbrey.

TERP is a fully licensed distribution center in the state of California. TERP packages and manufacturers some of the highest quality exotic brands and high THC products in the state of California. The team encompasses several distribution professionals, guided by a proven leadership with extensive experience in cannabis and quality-assured distribution. Current brands include, but are not limited to Sunshine Delight, Norcal's Finest, California Cannabis, and Scoopz.
