Item 8.01  Other Events

 

AmeriCann’s Joint Venture partner, Bask, Inc. announced that it plans to open its adult-use retail cannabis dispensary on Saturday, February 20, 2021.

 

AmeriCann has a 15-year Joint-Venture partnership with Bask that provides AmeriCann with a 15 percent Revenue Participation Fee on all Bask revenue generated from sales from AmeriCann’s Massachusetts Cannabis Center (“MCC”). The commencement of Adult-Use sales may increase Bask's revenue by 3-5 times which would positively impact AmeriCann's Revenue Participation Fee.

 

Building 1, the initial phase of the MCC, is a 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art cultivation and processing facility, 100% of which is occupied by Bask. In February of 2020, Bask commenced medical cannabis operations at the MCC.  The adult-use retail dispensary will operate out of Building 1.

 

The MCC, a planned one million square foot sustainable greenhouse, processing and product manufacturing project in Freetown, Massachusetts, is being developed by AmeriCann. 

  

The Massachusetts cannabis market has some of the highest prices in the United States, with wholesale prices exceeding $4,000 per pound and retail prices greater than $7,000 per pound. Adult use cannabis sales in Massachusetts exceeded $1 billion last November since the beginning of the program in 2018.
