VANCOUVER, May 15, 2018 /CNW/ - Friday Night Inc. (the Company or Friday Night) (CSE: TGIF) (FWB: 1QF) (OTCQB: TGIFF), a leading cannabis, hemp and CBD producer in Nevada, and its subsidiary, Alternative Medicine Association ("AMA"), are pleased to announce that construction is underway on the new cultivation facility. The Company also announces that it has signed a purchase agreement on a new building that will be used for cannabis production, processing and extraction.
Construction of New Cannabis Cultivation Facility is Underway
The Company is pleased to report that work has begun on AMA's new cannabis cultivation facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company was granted approval from the Clark County Zoning Commission in Nevada, for its building redesign from a one story, 35,000 sq. ft. facility to a two story, 67,750 sq. ft. facility for cannabis cultivation on 1.4 acres in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing) (APZ-1) (AE-75) Zone. The new facility, when completed, increases AMA's total footprint from the current 12,000 sq. ft. to a total of 79,000 sq. ft. and allows the Company to significantly increase flower cultivation to support AMA's own line of cannabis-based products and white-label extraction for multiple well-known cannabis brands in the State of Nevada.
Purchase Agreement signed for a New Cannabis Production, Processing and Extraction Facility
Friday Night is also pleased to announce they have entered into a purchase agreement for an existing 12,160 sq. ft. building adjacent to the future cultivation facility, which will be utilized for cannabis production, processing and extraction purposes. AMA's current production space is less than 2,000 sq. ft. yet contributes more than half of AMA's overall revenue. Management is confident that a larger production facility which increases the current footprint more than 6-fold will play a key role in the Company's aggressive growth strategy in Nevada. The purchase price is USD $2,250,000 and the subjects are anticipated to be removed within 30 days.
Due mainly to the upcoming increase in cultivation and production space, Friday Night also announces the decision to continue the management contract of Harvest Foundation. The Company evaluated the potential advantages of expanding the current contract to encompass an acquisition and has since decided to postpone acquisition talks.
"It is every company's desire to grow and become a significant player amidst all their competitors. AMA has already claimed a significant role in the Nevada market and with the new construction and the expanded work space for production, AMA's world class team can expand their talents, scale up operations and continue to provide the Nevada marketplace with the cannabis brands they demand."
