I will now pass the call over to Larry Scheffler, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of Planet 13.
Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for participating in our third quarter call. We've made significant progress against our long-term goals this quarter, while continuing to hold our own during a challenging competitive environment in our core market in Nevada. In Q3 in Nevada, we generated $13.9 million in revenue from the superstore, $1.9 million from the curbside and delivery, and $2.2 million from our Medizin neighborhood dispensary. In total, we generated $18 million in Nevada retail sales, and based on the available data, are maintaining our market share at 9% of the total statewide sales. This retail performance in Nevada compares to $18.9 million in Q2 and $17.9 million in Q1.
The slight decrease in sales this quarter was due to the standard volatility in the state's tourism event calendar, coupled with lower cannabis prices. In addition to the $18 million in retail sales, we generated $2.2 million from wholesale and other revenue in Nevada, compared to $2.4 million the previous quarter. The slight decline in the quarter was driven by two factors. We directed more of our product towards our own shelves, leading to a 500 basis point increase in our own, brand share of shelf space since the start of the year. This came at the expense of the wholesale sales, but will enable us to improve the margins at our retail stores.
The other factor was lower orders during the quarter due to the timing of orders for our gummy line and beverage line, both of which will have new formulations launching in the coming weeks. Overall, we are pleased with the performance of our wholesale and brands this year. We've had year-over-year wholesale growth of 34% year to date through Q3, driven by increased yield at our cultivation facility, increased brand recognition by consumers, and fresh new flavors and strains. During the third quarter, according to BDSA, we had the number one chocolate brand in Dreamland, and a top four candy brand in HaHa Gummies, and a top ten vape concentrate and flower brands. All of these brands have maintained consistently strong market share throughout the year, and we're excited about expanding their reach into Florida.
In total, Nevada, combined retail and wholesale was $20.2 million in Q3 2023, compared with $21.3 million in Q2 2023. Overall, these results aligned with traditional seasonality and current Nevada-wide market trends. Looking ahead in Nevada, we expect continued fluctuations quarter to quarter as micro factors like the seasonality of tourist traffic and large event schedules impact revenue at the superstore. For example, the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix F1 race is scheduled for November 16th-18th . Furthermore, macroeconomic trends like cannabis pricing and the health of the consumer will also impact overall Nevada-wide sales. We'll continue to judge our success based on maintaining retail market share between 8% and 12% of total Nevada sales, and our brands continuing to rank among the top-selling by product category.
Bob will discuss it later, but we are also focused on driving more non-cannabis revenue from the superstore, maximizing the revenue we generate from the superstore footprint. Turning to California, in Q3, we generated $4.6 billion in revenue compared to $4.5 million in Q2 2023. This breaks down into $1.9 million of retail, $2.7 million from wholesale, compared to $2 million from retail and $2.5 million from wholesale in Q2 of 2023. We've been slowly taking more of our California, California wholesale fully in-house instead of using third-party distributors. This allows us more flexibility with promotions and pricing to drive additional sales. We also have better control over our receivables and cash conversion.
We're pleased with the early results from this conversion, and we've been able to accomplish this smoothly without material additional staffing or SG&A requirements. With that, I'll pass it over to Dennis to discuss our financials.
Thank you, Larry. Before I begin, I'd just like to remind everyone that all numbers on today's call are stated in U.S. dollars, unless specifically stated otherwise. In Q3 2023, we generated $24.8 million in revenue, compared to $25.8 million in revenue in Q2 of 2023. This 3.9% decline sequentially is in line with traditional seasonality or seasonal fluctuations. Looking ahead, we expect minimal top-line growth from our legacy assets in Q4, as price compression continues to offset the efficiency gains and market share gains we are making. We expect growth to be driven by our Illinois dispensary starting, as it starts to contribute sales in December 2023, and assuming we close on the acquisition of VidaCann, LLC, in Q1 of 2024, our new Florida business will drive incremental sales throughout 2024.
In Q3 2023, gross margin took a small step back to 44.7%, down from 46% in Q2 of 2023. This decrease was driven by a slight decline in wholesale gross margins, primarily in California, where pricing pressure offset the positive impact of bringing distribution in-house. Compared to Q3 of 2022, gross margin is up almost 350 basis points, driven primarily by a decrease in product discounting as a percentage of gross revenue, partially offset by an increase in revenue coming from our lower-margin wholesale business. We continue to target 50% gross margin at the retail store level and expect to see gross margin improvement in 2024 once we close the VidaCann acquisition and generate a higher percentage of revenue from retail and notably, the fully vertically integrated Florida operations.
Sales and marketing expense for the quarter has been consistent all year at $1.3 million per quarter. We believe this demonstrates our ability to maintain a good balance of effective marketing spend, where we can efficiently drive more sales and customer throughput with a positive return on investment. There will be a slight increase in Q4 as we open our Illinois dispensary next month and work towards getting that dispensary fully ramped up over the next few quarters. The company spent $11.3 million on G&A, consistent with the $11.3 million spend on G&A in Q2 of 2023. Of the $11.3 million, approximately $900,000 was related to the VidaCann M&A transaction and the finalization of our conversion to a Nevada corporation.
We are, we are also carrying additional costs associated with the pre-revenue operations in our Florida and Illinois businesses. During the quarter, we took a $39.6 million impairment charge against our Florida license. This was part of our U.S. domestication process, where the company had to fair value all of our assets for the final exit tax return we filed with the CRA. We engaged a third-party independent consultant to perform a formal valuation of the company's assets for tax purposes. As a result of that valuation work, we determined that the carrying value of the Florida license should be written down. As of September 30, 2023, the company had a cash balance of $36.7 million and no debt.
We utilized $1.9 million in investing cash flow during the quarter as we finalized the build-out of our Illinois dispensary and continued with high-priority upgrades at the superstore, like the consumption lounge, and other build-outs at the superstore. Through the end of the year, we expect to spend approximately $1.5 million to complete the build-out of the upgrades in Las Vegas. Looking ahead to 2024, our cash needs are minor for our existing operations. As part of the VidaCann transaction, which we expect to close in Q1 of 2024, we will pay $4 million in cash on closing and take back a promissory note, or take on a promissory note for $5 million that will be due 12-16 months post-closing.
We are confident that these cash outlays will often be offset by the cash obtained from the sale of our existing Florida license, which is a required regulatory condition of the closing the VidaCann acquisition. We also have an additional property in Florida that can be potentially sold and added to these assets, there are significant cash benefits to the VidaCann acquisition as it replaces most of our CapEx needs in Florida that would have had to been incurred to build out a comparative 26-store retail network and supporting cultivation and production facilities. We expect total CapEx in 2024 to be between $3 million and $10 million over a 12- to 18-month time horizon. And with that, I'll turn the call back over to Bob to discuss the significant progress we've made this quarter on our growth initiatives and corporate strategy.
Thank you, Dennis, and good afternoon, everyone. As indicated earlier, we've taken major steps this quarter to advance our growth initiatives and become a major player in Florida. On August 28th, we announced a purchase agreement for VidaCann, the ninth-largest Florida dispensary network. This acquisition accomplishes multiple strategic goals and is a good fit within our company. It accelerates our timeline to reach a scaled position in the market and significantly reduces the near-term cash requirements. Their medical-focused brands complement our own more experience-focused brands, and their experienced management team, with talent at every level, from store managers to cultivation to production, are key assets.
Together, our combined footprint will be almost 30 medical dispensaries, with cultivation and production capable of supporting up to 70 dispensaries. It would have taken us years and tens of millions of dollars in CapEx to reach this scale independently. We've explored acquiring VidaCann and have done diligence multiple times over the years and have been very impressed by the way they've made improvements, both to the quality of their cultivation, with both yields and potencies increasing dramatically. They've also made significant progress to improve the cost structure of their operations.
Those improvements in their core operations, the synergies we saw between our respective operations and the time and cost savings, developing our own footprint and the attractive price point are why we are so excited about this deal. Our main focus, once we've completed the acquisition, is to continue the trend of improving cultivation by bringing some of our best strains and brands from Nevada and California. We also intend to add additional indoor cultivation for more premium flower. The goal for 2024 is to leverage improvements in cultivation and our award-winning brands to improve productivity per store, drive continued growth, increase cash flow, and prepare our market position in anticipation of eventual adult use legalization. We expect this acquisition to close in early Q1 of 2024, and it will be a significant contributor to our results next year.
It wasn't just Florida, however, where we've made progress over the quarter. We are on track, as Dennis indicated, to open our first dispensary in Illinois in December. And once we open and once it's fully utilized, we believe that location will have the potential to be the second highest generating dispensary in our network. Last week, on November 1st, which was the five-year anniversary of the opening of the superstore in Las Vegas, we released renderings and more detailed plans for our consumption lounge DAZED! at the Las Vegas superstore. It contains 3,000 sq ft of food, entertainment, and consumption space and will be a perfect place to watch the game, try products, and simply enjoy a night out. Similar to the rest of the superstore, it has eclectic art, experiential components, and will be a one-of-a-kind experience.
But between DAZED!, Cannabition, and our completed Grand Hallway expansion, which has room for additional entertainment and events, we are significantly improving the utilization of the superstore, driving additional traffic, opening up new non-cannabis revenue streams, which are beneficial under the current 280E restrictions. We expect the lounge, Cannabition, and the Grand Hallway to be ready to host guests on or before April 20, 2024. Looking back at the goals we set this year to drive long-term growth, they were to maintain our competitive position in core operations, increase scale, and improve profitability and cash flow. We have bolstered our scale and cash flow potential with a clear line of sight to long-term growth with the VidaCann acquisition, launching our footprint years ahead of our previous expectations and at a fraction of the cost.
The synergistic combination of business and expanded reach of our premier brands will drive profitability and sales. Along with these expansions of our footprint, the core operations have continued to grow and develop, with our own brands maintaining their high rankings and build out of the superstore progressing smoothly. Overall, we are well underway to meeting or exceeding these goals and have a strong balance sheet to continue to execute on our plans in 2024. We believe 2024 will be a fantastic year for growth at Planet 13. And with that, again, I want to thank everybody for participating in the call, and I'd now ask the operator to open up questions for covering analysts. Thank you.
Absolutely. Thank you. At this time, we will be conducting a question-and-answer session with the covering analysts. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you'd like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please while we poll for questions. Once again, that's star one if you have a question or a comment. The first question comes from Doug Cooper with Beacon Securities. Please proceed.
Hey, good evening, guys. Just a couple from me. I just want to confirm, I guess, the CapEx, Dennis. So you have $36 million in cash at the end of the quarter, right? Let's just start with the Nevada. You said you spent, I think, $1.5 million, n o, you said you need to spend $1.5 million to complete Nevada. Is that what you said?
Yeah, if I go back to that, yes, we spent $1.5 million, and we have to spend an additional $1.5 million-$1.8 million. I can't remember exactly. But yeah, Doug, it's, you know, it's basically the build out of the lounge and, you know, we've completed the gray shell for the third-party Cannabition museum opening and extending the Grand Hallway is in progress. You'll see it when you come down. Obviously, if you're coming down for MJBiz, and if not, we'll send you video photos of it. But, yeah. That's really all we need on the Nevada operations. Illinois, largely taken care of, you know, as it opens, I think, I think we're planning, you know, first week of December to get that open.
So we've got a little bit more there to spend in Q4, but not much. Majority of that is already, has already been spent. I think we'll be, you know, $5 million all in for, for that that open, including. And so, that includes the acquisition purchase of the building and then the build out, so.
Okay. And then the consumption lounge, is that that's incorporated in that $1.5 million still to spend, or that's on top?
Yes.
The consumption lounge would be?
Yeah, no, that's incorporated into that additional spend requirement.
Okay. Okay, and then Florida, obviously, taken care of. You got to spend $4 million cash upon closing, to the shareholders, I guess. And then, CapEx, you said, $3 million-$10 million on top of that?
Yeah, so it's, it's gonna, I look at the $4 million we have to spend, you know, and the note we take, we're, we're taking on, should largely be washed out with the, the sale of our existing license.
Right.
And additional cash will come in, you know, from that, that license sale, as well as the sale of, of, we've got a 23-acre parcel of land that's, that's in, in a fantastic spot, where we've got some interest in that already as part of that license sale process. And then we've, we've got another, other assets, that on a building that we haven't erected yet, you know, probably worth a couple of million that we, we can sell. So I look at selling the license and, you know, taking care of VidaCann. We'll, we'll end up with net cash out of that.
And then the CapEx on the balance of the Florida, you know, assuming VidaCann closes, it's gonna depend on how fast we roll out additional stores. The capacity of the VidaCann production and cultivation facility will probably spend, you know, $2 million-$3 million to put the indoor grow in, enhance their greenhouse. You know, we do have a plan. We are working with them on that. And then that will, you know, allow us to greatly expand the product offering in their existing 26 store network. They have capacity to double that the number of stores using that existing grow. So there's not a lot of additional investment we need in the grow itself. It's just how many stores are we gonna roll out? How fast? What location?
Does Florida go adult use in 2024 on the vote, and then we build a superstore, or does it stay medical? You know, we won't know the answer to that, whether it's on the ballot or not, probably until I think I was reading today, you know, sometime in January, February. So that's all gonna impact what the CapEx looks like in Florida in 2024.
Okay.
So that's kind of $3 million-$10 million, but net-net, the net-net, we should come out. Go ahead.
After all is said and done, you should have, i f you start at $36 million, you get some cash in from the sale of the license and maybe some buildings. You know, after the VidaCann closes and after Illinois is open, you should still be north of $30 million, I would suspect, right?
Should be, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we should.
Okay. The write-down of the Florida license by $39.6 million, you paid $50 million , correct?
We paid $55 million, Doug, all in. In September of 2021. You know, we raised the proceeds for that $55 million. We raised it at CAD 7.30 back in February of 2021, you know, way into Florida. Obviously, market is very different now than it was then.
Yeah.
Had to do that formal valuation as part of our domestication to Nevada, and looking at where we think that license will trade, coupled with a valuation report we had and what we filed with the CRA, you know, led to us having to take that impairment charge.
Yeah.
We'll finalize that number, depending on what we end up selling and what it's for.
I guess I'm just trying to get a, d o you think the value of that license that you're soon to be for sale is around $15 million or $16 million?
Yeah, probably. In that, in that ballpark, right? If you back out the fixed assets that we have, that have down there, it's in that, in that range for sure.
Yeah. I just took the $55 million minus $39.6 million, just as a quick-
Yeah.
If that's what the-
Yeah, no, I see. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Okay. Any hurdles still to get over for the closing of the VidaCann, or is it sort of just regulatory stuff right now?
Well, it's regulatory, and the big hurdle is, you know, the finding a buyer for our license, that will pass the OMMU, you know, process, right? So it's a bit of both. I mean, that's the biggest one. We have obviously made the applications in Nevada, vetting the shareholders we're taking on, getting regulatory approvals in the states that we need to, but, you know, the gating item will be the sale of that cannabis license.
Okay. Just moving on to pricing. Bob, Larry, you mentioned that there's some weakness in pricing in Nevada. To what extent in terms of percentage or, you know, where do you see pricing going there? And maybe you can segue that to Illinois and pricing there, and just your thoughts in Florida. I know one of the MSOs came out today during their, their call and said Florida remains the most profitable state in the country, I guess. So just maybe your thoughts on what you, h ow you see the market progressing in Florida in terms of pricing and profitability metrics.
Well, Doug, hey, it's Bob. Well, obviously, we're excited about Florida, about what it, you know, what it represents. I mean, we're still, of course, dealing in a medical market. You've got, what, 950,000 cardholders statewide. It creates some opportunities. Being a forced integrated market, you don't have the level of competition that you have in Nevada, for instance. You know, with multiple players in different segments. Again, what, we're comfortable, you know, where we are, where we're gonna go in when we close the transaction, that we'll be price competitive. We'll be, you know, priced at, similar to what VidaCann is doing now. We think we can get some price increasing with our new, you know, strains that we're moving into the market and some of our product lines. And so we're excited about that.
But going back to your earlier question on Nevada, and Nevada is a challenging market. I mean, as we indicated on the call, it's gonna continue to be challenging. There's just a lot more competition in the market. They've, you know, they've continued to issue licenses for new stores. It's created a lot of compression. We've been able to hold our own, and we're gonna continue to do that. One thing that it, that it is going to do, we believe, is create opportunities for us, you know, to expand our footprint here in the state. We see a lot of receivers now, or a lot of, operators now, rather, that are, are pushing, toward that receiver, situation. And we see some upside there. And so that creates opportunity.
It allows us to get our products into our stores and, you know, not be reliant upon, you know, third-party producers. So again, it's gonna be tight, and we're gonna just continue to, you know, put our head down and push through it, and we'll come out the other side stronger.
Okay. Any hope in sight for California? I mean, is there any silver linings in the horizon that could see the market improving there?
Oh, boy, that's, that's a tough one. You know, California is an even bigger challenge, particularly in the Orange County area on the retail side. The cultivation business is doing quite well. As you see, the numbers are ticking up quarter over quarter. We're excited about that. We've got a really good facility. We've got great products coming out of it. It's just in the Santa Ana area or Greater Orange County, we're seeing more and more storefronts being licensed, for instance, Costa Mesa, and now it looks like Huntington Beach coming into the market, in addition to the 30-plus stores in Santa Ana now. Again, we're pushing through it. We're doing the best we can. But, you know, I, nothing's changed, Doug, from my perspective since we opened the doors. Our biggest challenge down there is the illicit market.
Until the state of California gets serious about reining that in, you know, all operators, licensed operators, are gonna continue to struggle for a bit. It's just out of control, and they're so brazen and, you know, the delivery services that are not regulated, selling illicit products, and it seems as though the regulators continually just turn a blind eye. A lot of talk out of Sacramento, very little action.
Dennis, is California break even or close to break even? Just what would the cash flow like out of California?
Yeah, I mean, we're obviously trying to get it to break even on the retail side. The wholesale piece of it, as Bob mentioned, makes money. You know, again, every time a new dispensary opens, we see an impact on our revenue. So it's been a challenge to get it to break even, but it's close.
Okay. And final one, just Bob or Larry, on the consumption lounge. So the revenue model is you're not charging, you know, you're hoping that these guys obviously buy product in the store and go, you know, next door or across the hallway to go consume, and then the revenue is going to be coming from food and beverage, predominantly?
Well, hopefully, Doug, the revenue comes predominantly from buying product, THC products.
Right.
So, but yeah, we'll have ancillary opportunities for customers, plenty of food opportunities, plenty of, you know, drink opportunities outside alcohol. But we think that, you know, we aren't, i nitially, our model isn't to charge an admission fee, but it certainly is structured and set up to allow customers to experience, you know, equipment on a rental basis, you know, to use those products once they buy them. So, you know, and we've got gaming opportunities in there that'll be for charge. So we haven't even opened the facility now, and we're, you know, probably twice a week in inbounds from different groups that want to rent the entire venue for a night or two or, s o, you know, we think there's a lot of upside there. But again, this is new for all of us.
We haven't done that. What we are very confident in is that just having this type of operation on site is gonna drive additional traffic, and particularly to the extent that we're gonna build this out.
Got it.
And again, just to add, we've got plenty of capacity in our restaurant. We think there's gonna be a huge plus to help out with Trece on filling up that capacity, serving food over there, also at the consumption lounge.
Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Larry. And then Illinois plans to open December, and that's pretty straightforward there. So any particular comments in Illinois we should be cognizant of?
No, we're just really excited to see it come together. It's, I just can't, w e think it's gonna be a fantastic store, for the entire region up there. It's just, it's different. It's something they've been clamoring for, and, we're just, we can't wait to open the door.
Okay, perfect. Okay, guys. Thanks very much.
Thanks, Doug.
Once again, if there are any remaining questions or comments, please indicate so by pressing star one. Up next, we have Pablo Zuanic with Zuanic and Associates. Please proceed.
Yeah, thank you. Just a quick follow-up on the last question in terms of housekeeping. You said opening the lounge and all those facilities by April 20 next year. Is there anything in terms of permits still pending, or it's just about the, you know, the normal timeline in terms of build-out? I'm just trying to understand what's, i f you're in full control of the timeline or there's still something pending.
No, Pablo, this is Bob. Good to talk to you. We're excited. Yeah, we're very comfortable we'll meet that timeline or beat it. That's just kind of an outside target date for us. There are obviously operational challenges with building facilities now, given you know, lead times for equipment, particularly you know, large ticket items like HVAC systems. But we're comfortable we're gonna meet that. We've got everything in place. We've got a lot of bodies in the facility every day, and you know, the construction folks tell us that you know, they're moving at a pace that you know, they represented to us when we went into the contracts, and they assure us they're gonna get it open by then.
Right. Look, and I know it's hard to calculate, to estimate this, but you said in the past that I think 4% of tourists go to a superstore, right? And I've been trying to think whether, you know, is a 4% number good or bad? You know, I have no idea what percent of tourists partake, right? But, I'm thinking a 4% is still very low, right? So you still, you know, everybody hears about the, the sphere, right? I'm just wondering how high that 4% number could go, and it's probably hard to estimate, but, you know, is a 4% the number that you've been happy with, or you see a lot of upside to that number?
Well, again, this is Bob, and Dennis, and Larry can jump in, but I'm never happy with the number. I'd like it to be 10%. We're gonna continually work to grow traffic. I think the combination of having consumption on site now, coupled with the museum, is going to be a big traffic generator for us. This is truly a destination resort now. We've got several other leased opportunities that we're negotiating now. So this is gonna be an amazing opportunity for the cannabis consumer to come in and spend 15 minutes on a purchase or spend four or five hours here.
You know, it's, it's so unique, it's so different, and you know, this next, next phase of construction allows us to really make this a true cannabis entertainment complex. So we hope to grow those numbers. Certainly, you know, we wanna get everybody that's, you know, a connoisseur, a user, or just cannabis curious to come to the facility and enjoy it.
Yeah, and-
And then Pablo, just, it's Dennis. I'll add to that. Just on the percentages, I mean, you know, depends on your percentage of tourists. You know, if you use the 55 million estimated tourists, we're more like 2% of the tourists actually come to the superstore, given that, you know, we've had 1 million to 1.5 million customers in any given year. So there is, you know, if we can get to 4% of the 55 million, that would be fantastic, too. We'd double the number of customers. So it really depends on what source you're using as the tourist, you know, tourist number. So we'd be happy to go into more detail on the estimates and where we get them from, but.
Sure.
We can do that on-
On the same subject, on the same subject, I know that there's been a big jump in the number of stores, right, in Nevada in general. But in terms of the stores that would be 1-3 miles within the superstore, is there a lot new competition in terms of stores near the superstore for, you know, in terms of options for tourists, or that hasn't changed so much?
Well, we do have one large store that opened up recently, this year, actually, Thrive, which is just to the north of us on Sammy Davis Jr. Drive. But I don't see anything coming in now in the near term that doesn't run afoul of the distance separations, you know, from the Las Vegas Strip. There are additional licenses that will come into the market, but I don't see anything, or I haven't seen any applications recently that put it right down here on the Strip or adjacent to the Strip.
And thank you. Then one last one. So, you know, it's the same subject, but I guess flipping the equation, right? So I think you said in terms of the sales of the superstore, 80% tourists, you know, out-of-towners, and then 20% locals. How has your ability to attract locals changed over time, you know, up to this point? And I'm not talking about the lounge and the museum, I suppose that would also help cater to locals, but making more of a destination for locals. But, you know, has the attractiveness of the superstore with locals changed much or not, not really? Because you added delivery, you did add some services that would make me think that things would have improved with locals, but some color there. Thanks.
Well, I, I don't think that that ratio is gonna change much. And again, historically, you know, pre-COVID, through COVID, and now post-COVID, you know, those numbers have consistently, you know, tracked in that 80%-85% non-Nevadans using this facility in the dispensary. And it, and this is a tourist-built facility. It's gonna continue to drive tourist customers. Now, we do see a fair amount of locals coming through our drive-thru facility on site here that are locals, and they're typically, you know, working on the Strip, and they come by here, go through the drive-thru as they're heading home into the suburbs.
And I want to add one last one, if you can answer. But, you know, you talked about stores that are in receivership, right? That you would be looking at that as a way to expand in Nevada. If you begin to add stores in Nevada, I suppose you would call everything under the Planet 13 banner, right? Or would you rather have the Medizin? Because I don't know how much equity Medizin has in terms of adding more stores in Nevada. Thanks.
Yeah, that's a good question. We anticipate that, you know, as we expand the footprint, if we do, rather, they're probably Planet 13 branded stores. That seems to be kind of the direction we're going as a company now. All of our Florida stores, for instance, will be branded as Planet 13 in a rollout. The only one that is not Planet 13 is Medizin, which is our original store, and, you know, we've had some internal discussions about converting that over at some point as well.
This is Larry. We probably also will call it the Planet 13 neighborhood stores for the smaller version versus the superstore. There's a little distinction when they get on our website and understand that what they're getting to when they come to Las Vegas.
Right. Or maybe Satellite 13. But anyway, no, that's good. Thank you. Yeah.
Okay. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. This concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
