Driven Announces Major Milestones Ahead of Financial Releases, Stating Q4 2019 was the Best Quarter Since Inception

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven Deliveries, Inc. (the "Company" or Driven) DRVD, California's fastest growing online cannabis retailer and direct-to-consumer delivery company, is pleased to announce substantial milestones realized in Q4. Through the quarter, the Company performed more than 31,680 deliveries, acquired 2,587 new customers, and decreased the average new customer acquisition cost to $13.80 compared to $22.16 in Q3. Additionally, the company was able to increase the aggregate gross margin from retail sales by  3%, decrease its average delivery expense by 6% through integration of its three delivery operations, and increase product selection on dynamic menus by 160%.

Moreover, the Company managed to expand its full menu service by 45% and facilitate 38% of all inbound distribution to its fulfillment centers -- representing a 9% increase month-over-month in its new distribution business.

Driven attributes its significant uptick in performance to its relentless focus on operational integration and increased investment in retail marketing, both internally and with expanded partnerships.

With home-delivery app Weedmaps, the company currently possesses more than 400 active "delivery pins" across its three brands.

In addition to the improvements across all corporate metrics, the company took possession of its expanded facility in Sacramento, California.  Subsequently, the company now offers a dynamic and full menu service. 

Driven completed the consolidation of three of its Southern California facilities into its new headquarters in El Segundo, California, located three miles from LAX airport. The move brings operations, finance, accounting, technology, marketing, legal and executive functions together under one roof.  The consolidation of the company's previous offices in both Los Angeles and San Diego, into one flagship, will greatly benefit the organization as the savings accumulate. Additionally, synergies that come from all departments being together on a daily basis will multiply.

"Driven is growing strongly, expeditiously and healthily," says Christian Schenk, CEO of  Driven Deliveries, Inc.  "Q4 was about execution and achieving the operational benefits of integrating the operation of our three mainstay brands Ganjarunner, Mountain High Recreation and GanjaBudee," he said.  "With California Operations now operating at peak efficiency levels, we have the blueprint to begin expansion of our operation into additional states."

The company has contracted with its Securities Exchange Counsel to begin drafting a Form S-1 SEC filing to register DRVD securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). "Our business is now able to sustain healthy trade volume. With the business in a sustainable growth position, we are confident in our ability to work with the retail traders and begin proper analyst coverage of our increasingly valuable stock," Schenk affirms.

Driven will file its 10k on time later this quarter and is excited to share the complete financial representation of Q4, 2019.
