Wana Brands partners with TerrAscend Corp in New Jersey, Maryland

Wana’s Maryland manufacturing transfers from Curio to TerrAscend.

Wana Brands has entered into a multi-year agreement with TerrAscend Corp to introduce its products at The Apothecarium retail stores and additional third-party retailers in New Jersey.

The agreement also transfers the manufacturing and sales of Wana's existing portfolio of products in Maryland to TerrAscend.

"This partnership is a substantial addition to our retail and wholesale operations in New Jersey, one of the most robust cannabis markets on the East Coast," said Jason Wild, executive Chairman of TerrAscend. "Edibles are among the industry's fastest growing consumer categories, as well as one of the strongest entry points for new cannabis consumers. We also look forward to building on the amazing presence Wana has cultivated in Maryland by adding new SKUs for their patient base in the state."

TerrAscend will serve as the sole manufacturer, supplier and commercial partner for Wana's products in New Jersey. The new relationship in Maryland will also bring some of Wana's best-selling SKUs to Maryland.

"We could not be more excited to partner with TerrAscend to introduce Wana to New Jersey cannabis connoisseurs for the very first time and launch several of our top-selling SKUs from other markets in Maryland,” said Nancy Whiteman, CEO and co-founder of Wana Brands. “We would like to thank Curio for their partnership over the past three years to position Wana as a top gummy in Maryland and look forward to continuing to work with their retail stores as we make this transition towards the end of March 2023."
