BellRock's Flagship Brands Recognized as Top Selling Cannabis Brands as New Market Expansion Continues

DENVER, Dec. 7, 2021 /CNW/ - BellRock Brands Inc. ("BellRock" or the "Company") (CSE: BRCK.U), an industry-leading cannabis multi-state house of brands ("MSHB"), today announced that its flagship brands, Mary's Medicinals and Dixie Brands, have been recognized by both BDSA and Leaflink as top-selling cannabis brands in multiple categories.

For both the first half of 2021 and Q3 2021, BDSA named Mary's Medicinals as the Best Selling Cannabis Brand in the Topicals Category. Mary's 1:1 CBD/THC transdermal compound was the brand's best-selling product during that timeframe. On November 15^th, LeafLink released its annual LeafLink List, honoring the standout cannabis brands, products, and retailers on its B2B platform, which processes over $4.4B per year in wholesale cannabis orders. Mary's Medicinals was announced a winner in the Best Selling Topicals Category for its Transdermal Compound and Best Selling Ingestibles Category for its Remedy tincture, and Dixie Brands won in the Fastest Growing Edibles and Best Selling Beverages Categories (both results based on every market in which LeafLink operates during 2021). LeafLink List 2021 was created by analyzing orders through the LeafLink marketplace from January 1st to September 30, 2021.

"Mary's and Dixie are both iconic cannabis brands and it is an honor to be recognized by both BDSA and Leaflink," said Brian Jansen, President of BellRock Brands. "These achievements are a testament to our team's passion, dedication and hard work. As a multi-state house of brands, our goal is to introduce high quality, effective brands and products that consumers will consistently desire, and these awards are proof that we are achieving that objective."

"Each year through LeafLink List, we celebrate the amazing brands and retailers that make up the powerful community within LeafLink's platform," said Ryan G. Smith, LeafLink CEO and Co-Founder. "It has been another strong year for cannabis, with the industry seeing continued growth thanks to the hard work of these amazing businesses and the exceptional people behind them. We're excited to celebrate this year's winners, and we can't wait to see what next year has in store."

Leaders in the industry for over ten years, Mary's and Dixie products are currently found in 9 states. Dixie Brands, through an agreement with licensed manufacturer, JRMI27, LLC, recently launched its newest gummy SKU, Spicy Mango, in Michigan. An irresistible combination with a sweet mango flavor and the spicy kick of Dixie's own chipotle/habanero blend, Dixie's Spicy Mango gummies contain 5mg of THC per piece. Additionally, Dixie's Michigan portfolio will soon include the popular Sour Strawberry SKU.

"We first entered the Michigan medical market in October 2018. Nearly three years later we are pleased to share that, through our relationship with JRMI27, the BellRock portfolio of products has expanded in that state to include edibles, tinctures and topicals," said Jansen.
