supply currently in think it’s do right, and seeing, I an lot interesting, you of are -- It’s evolution because mix. product definitely certainly like, constrained a it’s markets, you of

started are similar how of very oil-based we time Pennsylvania only trends that those very played Florida, well as least very say, Florida an be aware think have the in program and at to will and Pennsylvania So similar. we market out over

have we again, that with still mean, of front, flower seen see as with numbers, if that similar that market the supply. increasing, to comparison right, and have the up now is a has Florida, rapid trying So any ramp the week-over-week. onboarding a and which flower exponential in in very demand Florida catch I in we been product, has we to

down. to and surges doesn’t flower We in slowing demand have look had be that

customers [ph], that’s retail flower, Solevo to think very again, across for locations, be So it’s in or Pennsylvania, important through whether value different wholesale quality platform channel. multiple our going Binske available propositions at the in whether very, we Keystone, do the like flour distribution it’s our to have and

Derek Dley

$X,XXX of the significant think you increase $X,XXX, very in to that’s when end short year So, a a period time. about of

And we basket patients are come new again in that that, that so, and size seeing with are folks but is fairly -- flat.

those stimulus, stimulus. was relates identifiable it days hit. some pretty It checks As to saw stimulus when around certainly, increases we

and I where therefore stimulus period will a wasn’t And say affecting or baskets. wasn’t was a skewing so protracted it protracted it

not should part decrease was creating that’s question well, because baskets okay, maybe stimulus case. to then bump assume in the the in think we is, going of I or maybe a QX, that are QX increasing
