NEX-listed Sativa Investments, a vehicle investing in medicinal cannabis, has unveiled plans to launch around 100 Goodbody Wellness shops across the UK within two years.
The news comes after Sativa hired Chris Jones in January to launch wellness centres that will sell a range of cannabis-derived medicinal products in the UK.
Jones, who is a retail management professional, is spearheading the launch of its wellness centres, branded as Goodbody & Blunt.
These will feature drop-in cafes with in-house, or retail, purchases.
The roll-out will be funded from the company’s existing resources, including the proceeds of a share placing completed in October.
Jones most recently held the role of consultant sales director at a UK-based vaping company with 110 outlets. He has also consulted for Ziggicig in Northern Ireland.
Before that he has held roles at mobile phone providers including Nokia, where he was UK sales director, Dextra Mobile Accessories and Phones4U.
