The Collective Project's product line features Sparkling Juices and Sparkling Lemonades with varying THC dosages, catering to diverse consumer preferences. Later this summer, the portfolio will expand further with the introduction of Fetch, a bold new line of THC sodas. Consumers can expect additional details regarding this release soon.
Organigram's Senior Vice President, Megan McCrae, emphasized the positive momentum witnessed in the category, citing partnerships with major retailers such as Total Wine & More and Top Ten Liquors as evidence of the market's potential. The company aims to continue its multi-phase expansion strategy, unlocking new sales channels and driving topline growth in both the U.S. and international markets.
Collective Project beverages are now being shipped directly to consumers and are available at select retail partners in states including Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, among others. This dual approach of direct online sales and retail distribution is designed to maximize consumer reach across the U.S.
