Next Level Business Model: Premium, Trusted Brand
The Diego Pellicer model has evolved from a lease-based, landlord business into a national premium branding, licensing and royalties model. A significant advantage of this model is the ability to rapidly expand to new markets, establishing upscale company stores and offering the finest-quality products. The new model also includes developing exclusive, branded cannabis products that will be available at company stores and beyond its branded retail locations.
Diego Pellicer Management Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. that launched in August, provides turnkey operations including management expertise, personnel, technology, branding and marketing for any existing or future cannabis store in the United States. This ensures a consistent, luxury brand that customers can trust no matter their location.
Already, Diego Pellicer Management Company has proven successful. The Company negotiated additional rental income with its existing stores, increasing cash flow. This cash flow position reduces the need to borrow capital for operations making it possible for Diego Pellicer Worldwide, Inc. to focus on expanding the brand.
