SAN DIEGO, May 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Driven Deliveries, Inc., DRVD, the first and only cannabis delivery company to be publicly traded on a United States exchange, announced today that the company has received licenses to sell and deliver cannabis from California City, California.

The two awarded licenses allow Driven to operate both a storefront and a delivery operation in California City, extending its cannabis delivery service to more than 13,000,000 residents in Southern California, including California City, Los Angeles, Bakersfield and several additional nearby cities. 

These licenses are strategic assets for the company as it strives to aggressively capture market share in the brand-to-consumer cannabis delivery market - focusing on serving the most hard-to-reach areas as well as busy urban centers.  Combined with the previously announced Ganjarunner acquisition, Driven Deliveries is primed to provide legal cannabis delivery to more than 92 percent of the population of California.

California represents the world's largest legal cannabis market. By combining the new California City cannabis licenses with the previously announced Ganjarunner acquisition, Driven Deliveries can now supply legal cannabis and to more than 92 percent of the population of the state of California.  A recent report from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics estimated that spending growth on legal cannabis will increase in 2019 reaching approximately $17 billion worldwide, and ballooning to $31.3 billion in 2022.

"We are pleased to be awarded both the retail and delivery licenses by the City of California City, and eager to expand our cannabis delivery operations within this rapidly growing marketplace," said Mr. Brian Hayek, President of Driven Deliveries, Inc. "These licenses, combined with our Ganjarunner acquisition is proof of our ability to execute on our strategic plan by establishing and expanding a strong foothold in the world's largest legal cannabis space.  In addition to expanding our footprint and serviceable market, we estimate that we will reduce our cost to serve by up to 10% on several existing markets which will allow the company to achieve higher returns across the board."
