Belushi's Farm Taps Nation's
Leading Hydroponics Retailer to Outfit New
Greenhouse
DENVER, April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - GrowGeneration
Corp. (NASDAQ: GRWG), ("GrowGen" or the "Company") the nation's
largest chain of specialty hydroponic and organic garden centers,
today announced a new partnership with Belushi's Farm to outfit its
newest greenhouse. Based in Oregon, Belushi's Farm was founded in 2015 by
performer Jim Belushi to cultivate premium medical and recreational
cannabis, producing signature brands such as Belushi's Secret
Stash, The Blues Brothers, and Captain Jack's (also known as "The
Smell of SNL").
"We've spent several weeks on the ground in Oregon working with Jim and his exceptional
team at Belushi's Farm working on plans and visiting our retail
locations for top-grade supplies," said Jeremy Corrao, Vice President of Commercial
Operations at GrowGeneration. "Our team of grow professionals are
experts in cannabis-growing techniques, and we're excited to
support Jim's vision with GrowGeneration's unparalleled supplies
and services."
"GrowGeneration is getting in there with us and building this
incredible greenhouse system that will nearly double our yield,"
said Jim Belushi. "I didn't know this was possible until they came
through! They're a sharp crew and we've been working together to
keep the plants dancing like the Blues Brothers — there's this
perfect amount of warm sun and light when they need it, the fresh
soil, crisp air and beautiful Rogue
River water — I think these crops may be happier than
ever!"
GrowGeneration is America's fastest-growing commercial
cultivation retailer in the U.S., with more than 53 stores across
the U.S., including two stores in Oregon, where Belushi's Farm is headquartered,
and 23 stores in neighboring states such as California, Nevada, and Washington. Earlier this week, GrowGeneration
announced it will enter Mississippi, a gateway to the Southern market,
this summer as its 13th state. In 2020 GrowGeneration was named the
"Best Cannabis of 2020" by Bloomberg, following ten consecutive
quarters of revenue growth and more 700% gains year-over-year. In
2021, the company issued guidance of $415-$430 million
in revenue, driven by commercial customers, private label products
and technology solutions.
GrowGeneration is a founding member of the Sustainable Cannabis
Coalition (SCC), a trade organization focused on promoting
sustainability practices throughout the cannabis industry. The
company has also donated hydroponic equipment to Whole Cities
Foundation, an independent, nonprofit initiative started by Whole
Foods, in an effort to increase organic farming practices and
vertically-grown food production in urban communities.

About Belushi's Farm
What began as a meager 48 plants
during Oregon's medical marijuana
program in 2015, today Belushi's Farm encompasses a sprawling and
spiritual 93 acres with 1,800 feet of Rogue River riverfront in Southern Oregon's Banana Belt where the sun,
water and air make the perfect combination to sustain naturally
powerful and beautiful cannabis. Belushi's Farm is home to a range
of offerings — Belushi's Secret Stash, The Blues Brothers, Captain
Jack's Gulzar Afghanica (a rare strain from the Hindu Kush region
that became known in the '70s as "The Smell of SNL"), and GROWING
BELUSHI on The Discovery Channel. Having suffered the loss of his
brother John to an overdose, and his own journey learning and
healing through cultivating cannabis, the farm's proprietor,
performer Jim Belushi, is a proponent of the plant's beneficial
properties across a spectrum of uses. From enhancing joy and
quality of life, mitigating trauma and managing pain, to a harm
reduction approach and rebuttal of the opioid abuse epidemic, Jim
advocates for patient rights and adult-use legalization while
empowering newcomers to access the profound spiritual and healing
powers of quality cannabis. For more information, please visit:
