VAPE Holdings Opens HIVE Supply in Washington

CHATSWORTH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2015 / Vape Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:VAPE) (the “Company” or “Vape”), a holding company focused on providing healthy, efficient, and sustainable vaporization products and management, consulting, branding, real estate and compliant packaging solutions to lawfully operating participants in the legal cannabis industry, is pleased to announce that the Company opened its initial HIVE Supply Washington location for distribution and sales, effective April 1, 2015.

HIVE Supply is a packaging and sourcing division of Vape designed to serve as a competitively priced, comprehensive “one-stop shop” for all medical and recreational marijuana packaging needs. As with all of Vape’s products, HIVE Supply will operate in full compliance with all federal laws and the laws of each individual state in which it does business. HIVE Supply will focus on providing much-needed support to legal cannabis businesses in regards to sourcing consumer products, brand management and marketing services.

“Our industry has been recently described by Huffington Post Business as the ‘fastest growing industry in the United States’,” stated Kyle Tracey, CEO of VAPE Holdings. “Our new HIVE Supply location in Washington brings us closer toward executing our vision of taking a leadership role in the B2B side of the legal cannabis space, through wholesale distribution. We believe that as we build HIVE Supply, the relationships created with the hundreds of licensed sales outlets for medical and recreational cannabis that require some or all of our products, will serve our shareholders well in the years to come.”

Historically the industry has been intentionally fragmented. It is only in the last six months looking forward that we have become certain it is possible to build and to operate a wholesale supply network in the western region of the country, which is the core mission for operations of HIVE Supply.

“We are thrilled to launch HIVE Supply in Spokane WA. We feel the number of 502 licenses centered around the Spokane area will be a strong market to test a high end equipment leasing model that we expect to be one of several core revenue channels of HIVE Supply,” stated Joe Andreae, President of VAPE Holdings. “HIVE Supply in Washington will serve as the first location outside of our company nerve center in Southern California for distribution and customer support.”

HIVE Supply will be launching out of Spokane Organic and Hydroponic Supply, a business that is already servicing a large number of 502 license holders. This relevant customer base will be our launching point into Washington State and with the support of Spokane Organics we will provide both compliant packaging and state approved equipment immediately. “I’m happy to partner with the HIVE team to bring my customers more of what they need in this rapidly expanding market,” stated Paul Mihara Jr., owner of Spokane Organics.
