Flora Growth Corp. (“Flora” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its Flora Beauty division has signed an agreement with the largest Latin American retailer Grupo SACI Falabella (BCS:FALABELLA) (“Falabella”) to distribute Paulina Vega’s CBD skincare brand Minds Naturals. The first official order has already been received from Falabella in Colombia and is in process of being fulfilled.

Highlights

• Falabella, the Macy’s of Latin America, is one of the largest retailers in Latin America, with over 250 retail locations, serving more than 30 million customers and generating over $8 billion in revenues in 2019.
• Mind Naturals products will be available for purchase in up to 111 Falabella retail locations across Latin America.
• Initial rollout will start with the 15 highest-traffic retail centres in Colombia, with products already available.
• Mind Naturals products will also be available through online channels across Falabella’s e-retailer Linio, which sees over 290 million visitors per year and on Fallabella.com.

“The addition of Mind Naturals products to Falabella’s portfolio represents a massive step in the growth of Flora Beauty’s inaugural brand,” commented Flora Growth’s President of Consumer Goods. “Our products are developed by and intended for Latin American consumers. By having Mind Naturals products available through one of the largest retailer like Falabella, we can ensure we reach a maximum number of target consumers and more importantly, that those consumers can access the high-quality and sustainable beauty and skincare products they desire.”

About the Distribution Agreement 

Through this distribution agreement, Falabella will sell the full portfolio of Flora Beauty’s inaugural CBD skincare line Mind Naturals. The products will be sold initially in 15 physical retail locations in Colombia, with a focus on the highest-traffic retail centres. Falabella will be Flora Beauty’s exclusive retail partner in Colombia.

Mind Natural will also be available through Falabella’s growing e-commerce channels, Linio and Falabella.com, which operate across Brazil, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, among others. This agreement creates the potential for Flora Beauty to expand distribution across other Latin American jurisdictions.
