SAN GERONIMO, Calif.,
May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Virogen Inc. (OTC:VRNI), a holding company that owns Tiger
Team Technologies and The Cannabis Connection, today announced that
The Cannabis Connection, its recently launched business unit that
intends to operate medicinal marijuana dispensaries in states that
have legalized such operations, including California, will focus its efforts on serving
the high-end dispensary niche, a market segment the company
believes to be vastly underserved.
Concept. The Connection's strategic concept is to
pamper its medicinal marijuana clients with an opulent, high-end
"boutique" experience, one featuring extremely attentive customer
service personnel and only the highest-quality products. The
Connection's "boutique" concept is in direct contrast to the vast
majority of existing dispensaries that are mundane operations
located in low-cost areas.
Location. The Connection's locations are expected to be
located in and around affluent urban neighborhoods and business
centers, as well as in affluent suburban areas. These
locations would be intended to provide ease of access and
convenience to The Connection's target client base, affluent baby
boomers who require the use of medicinal marijuana on a regular
basis. The company's management is convinced that convenient
access to The Connection's dispensaries is a primary requirement to
attracting its target client base.
Shops. Each location established by The Connection will
be designed so as to provide an intimate, boutique-style retail
experience, with an emphasis on client comfort and employee
discretion.
"We believe The Connection's boutique image, when coupled with
our gracious and discrete client services, will serve to attract
our target client base, those 'boomers' who require medicinal
marijuana but have grown weary of the low-budget shops' lack of
finesse and, often times, lack of quality products," said
Paul Hogan, President of VRNI.
