Cannabis Company Kaya Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:KAYS) Opens Fourth Kaya Shack™ Recreational and Medical Marijuana Dispensary


SALEM, Ore., April 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaya Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:KAYS), announced today that it has opened its 4th legal marijuana dispensary in Central Salem, Oregon. The Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore is licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) for recreational and medical sales, as well as home delivery of cannabis products to anywhere within the geographical limits of Salem, Oregon.

Kaya Shack™ 4 is located in a strip mall that includes numerous fast food restaurants and businesses such as Carl Jr., Popeye’s Chicken, sandwich shops, a microbrewery sports bar, a laundromat, and other businesses with adjacent residential complexes to be constructed in 2018. It has a footprint of approximately 3,100 square feet and utilizes the Kaya Shack™ Marijuana Superstore model. We believe this store completes our penetration of the Salem, Oregon market which is home to over 165,000 residents and numerous colleges, universities and employers.

The shop features a wide variety of cannabis flower, extracts and oils, including vape pens and cartridges, edibles such as chocolates and gummies, and creams and lotions. The store will also feature accessories such as glass, papers, and Kaya Shack™ branded apparel and will continue to develop to incorporate unique features such as a juice bar and an in-store production area.

“This store has been a long time coming as the space suffered severe water damage last winter, delaying construction,” stated Craig Frank, CEO of Kaya Holdings. “We are pleased to be opening the shop, completing our expansion in Salem and allowing us to fully serve the Salem community with fine affordable cannabis. The completion of this stage of development further positions us to now embark on our next stage of growth which includes building Kaya Farms and the Kaya production complex and beginning our expansion into other states.”
