Members,
Please note the important update below concerning Cannabis wholesaling and retailing announced this morning by the BC Government. I have already received some questions about how this will affect the new warehouse and the planned distribution changes. Blain Lawson, GM and CEO of the BCLDB has provided this Q and A that will answer all of your topline questions at this early stage. Blain states, “We want to assure you our commitment to customer service and working collaboratively with our liquor industry partners remains the same. It is business-as-usual for LDB’s liquor operations.”

SKU Information – relates to how many SKUs the brewery produces that would be distributed through the LDB (excluding draught SKUs).
Estimated case sales per month – to get a read on how much volume will be going through the DC. It would exclude their on-site store, just a projection of sales of the product that will be distributed by us (to BCLS and other retailers).
