Diego Pellicer Worldwide Retains Small Cap Nation in Conjunction with Grand Opening of First Retail Location

SEATTLE, March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Diego Pellicer Worldwide DPWW, a real estate and a consumer retail development company that is focused on developing Diego Pellicer as the world's first "premium" cannabis brand, today announced that the company has retained Small Cap Nation™ to provide visibility and media services in conjunction with the Company's opening of their first retail location in Seattle.

In announcing the engagement, Mr. Ron Throgmartin, Diego Pellicer's Chief Executive Officer, said, "After several years of hard work behind the scenes, we are poised to launch our first retail outlet in Seattle.  This supports our unique business model of leased real estate in states where recreational cannabis is allowed, while having provisions for acquisition of the real estate and the income stream when the federal prohibition has been lifted."

"We believe that the multi-staged roll-out program to be delivered by Small Cap Nation, along with their best-of-breed videocentric platform and broad distribution across multiple partner sites – focused on active and aggressive small cap investors – is a fantastic and most efficient means for Diego Pellicer Worldwide to raise awareness in the investing community," concluded Mr. Throgmartin.

The various elements of the roll out strategy that Small Cap Nation is delivering for Diego Pellicer will utilize SCN's network and reach to position and communicate the company's unique and compelling business strategy to the retail and institutional investment community.
