Green Growth Brands Announces Plans to Open Over 70 New Locations

COLUMBUS, OH, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF) ("GGB" or "the Company") announced today an arrangement through which the Company will open over 70 prime shop locations with potential for more at Brookfield Properties' shopping centers throughout the United States. These exciting plans will further expand GGB's physical footprint to approximately 280 total locations by the end of 2019.

"Brookfield Properties operates some of the most exciting and visited malls in the country, and we are thrilled to introduce our CBD shops to their centers," said Peter Horvath, CEO of Green Growth Brands. "We know that consumers prefer to buy personal care and beauty products from physical stores, and this partnership will allow us access to millions of consumers."

With a portfolio of over 160 best-in-class retail real estate assets, Brookfield Properties' retail properties are hubs for communities across the U.S., featuring shopping, dining, entertainment and gathering. Currently, there are seven GGB shops within the Brookfield Properties' portfolio.

"Curation of our shopping centers is fundamental to our ongoing evolution," said Sandeep Mathrani, CEO of Brookfield Properties' retail group and Vice Chairman of Brookfield Property Group. "It is our job to bring in retail offerings and experiences that today's consumer desires and this includes GGB's CBD products. GGB is at the forefront of this trend and we are pleased they will expand their reach within our portfolio."

In addition to Seventh Sense Shops, GGB is further expanding its chain of CBD-infused personal care product shops with a new prestige brand called Green Lily. Green Lily is a mindful-luxe CBD brand dedicated to empowering women.  Four Green Lily locations will open in the near-future at Brookfield Properties' shopping centers.
