VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vodis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE:VP) (FSE:1JV) (“Vodis Pharmaceuticals”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vodis USA, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Vodis” or the “Company”) are pleased to announce Vodis intends to expand its Washington State operations in multiple ways.
First, Vodis has effected and signed a 25 year lease with its tenant, Our Church International, LLC, a Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (“WSLCB”) licensed recreational marijuana production and processing business (“OCI”). In addition to leasing the “turn key” facility to OCI, Vodis will also provide consulting services. Specifically, Vodis will advise OCI on growing systems and technologies used to maximize yield and facilitate best practices relative to marijuana growing techniques. Second, Vodis has agreed to design and develop and lease to OCI a facility that will house the OCI “genetic library”, which will enable OCI to develop genetic-specific strains of marijuana. Third, Vodis has agreed to design, develop and lease to another WSLCB-licensed recreational marijuana production and processing company a “turn-key” facility for this licensed production and processing business. Vodis anticipates completing the build out of their second “turn-key” facility in Bellingham, Washington.
Otto Folprecht, CEO and Director of Vodis Pharmaceuticals commented, “After delivering our first “turn key” solution to Our Church International, we continue to look to expand and secure long-term partnerships with recreational marijuana license holders. We now have multiple opportunities to provide consulting services, develop additional “turn key” facilities and lease these facilities to various licensed businesses in the Washington State recreational marijuana industry.”
