(CSE: PLTH) (OTCQB: PLNHF) ("Planet 13" or the "Company"), a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, celebrated the grand opening of its Planet 13 Superstore today. As the world's largest cannabis dispensary, the Planet 13 Superstore offers a unique and awe-inspiring experience for visitors from around the globe. The Superstore is located at 2548 W.

Phase 1 of the new entertainment complex features 40,000 square feet of multi-faceted entertainment space featuring interactive attractions and 16,500 square feet of cannabis retail space with 42 registers to serve the 2,000 customers that are forecasted to visit the Superstore on a daily basis. The forecast is based on a store with a comparable location. In phases 2 and 3, Planet 13 expects to add other unique attractions.
"With Phase 1 of the project fully complete, we are proud to showcase the unparalleled interactive entertainment and product lines available for our 2,000 plus expected daily visitors," said Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO, of Planet 13. "We have seen incredible demand from cannabis companies across Nevada wanting to showcase their product in the largest dispensary in the world. I don't think there is another dispensary with the breadth and quality of product we have here, nor a site with the potential for multi-year expansion this close to the Strip."
"Planet 13's location minutes from the Strip, positions it as one of only two stores focusing on the Las Vegas tourist market," said Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13. "I am confident that our diversity of products, reputation for customer service, and the true Las Vegas experience we provide will make us a must-see for a substantial portion of the 55 million tourists who visit Las Vegas every year."
As guests approach the complex they are greeted by 13, 15-foot-tall LED lotus flowers on the roof of the building. Made of acrylic leaves and metal stems, the lotus flowers can be controlled by visitors, making them an interactive piece of art. The control panels sit near the sophisticated outdoor water feature that uses vibrant LED lights with fog to create a glowing effect which can be seen from the 65,000 hotel rooms that look directly onto the Superstore location. Customers can explore these features before heading into the lobby, which is home to the interactive, sensory-activated LED flooring. The attractions continue once guests move inside the main portion of the complex where they'll view a recurring, glowing aerial orb show high above the dispensary floor. Additionally, visitors get to leave their mark on the interactive art wall, allowing them to create unique writings and drawings. Finally, the 3D Projection Visual Experience mesmerizes guests by projecting 3D visuals onto the ceiling.
