ParcelPal Technology, Inc. Partners with 5 Vancouver Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2017 / ParcelPal Technology Inc. (OTC PINK: PTNYF) (CSE: PKG.CN) (FSE: PT0) (“ParcelPal” or the “Company”), a technology driven logistics company that offers on-demand delivery of merchandise from leading retailers, restaurants, medical marijuana dispensaries, and liquor stores, is pleased to announce that, in addition to the recent dispensary chain announced on January 27, ParcelPal is now available at 5 well-recognized independent Vancouver based medical marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries are taking advantage of ParcelPal’s technology solution to provide their customers with an on-demand delivery experience. Many of ParcelPal’s launched dispensaries are located in Vancouver’s downtown core and offer a variety of products to consumers. Vancouver residents can now get their medical marijuana delivered straight to their doorsteps in as little as one hour.

President Kelly Abbott states, “We are very pleased with the rapid adoption of our technology by dispensaries in the past three weeks, having signed over 20 in total across Canada. Providing ParcelPal as an online ordering and delivery option creates an alternative sales channel for these dispensaries and allows consumers discreet and safe access to product from the comfort of their homes.” Mr. Abbott further states, “What is especially gratifying is that these businesses in a nascent market are trusting us with such an important and vital part of their business; building trust is a big part of marketing our technology to the marijuana industry, and our results thus far are indicative of success.”

Customers that order marijuana through ParcelPal will be required to provide their date of birth at checkout to confirm they are 19 years or older and be a current medical marijuana patient in Canada. In order for marijuana to be delivered, the recipient must be 19 years or older and must also be present to sign for the delivery and show proof of legal age with a valid photo ID.

“Medical Marijuana delivery is a very strong area of growth for us as. On average, medical marijuana patients are less mobile and more in need of ParcelPal’s ordering and delivery solutions,” stated CEO, Jason Moreau.

ParcelPal now has platforms live with three verticals – Liquor, Restaurants, and Marijuana Dispensaries – and has customers signed up with each.
