CBD is an exciting product that is taking the nation by storm. Trending among everyone from celebrities to medical professionals, it’s no surprise the buzz around the cannabis product has continued to explode. Based on our research, CBD’s unique and holistic healing properties have been known to alleviate a wide range of symptoms such as chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, and epilepsy, which has catapulted the product to the forefront of the available natural medicines.

We believe the problem is how we define the word ‘available.’ Is it truly available when many have no direct access to safe CBD products in their area?  This leaves the consumer vulnerable to products whose strengths and ingredients are misrepresented; it also does not allow for true exploration into products that could provide serious relief for their circumstance. Many have a bad taste in their mouth, and the people who are unsatisfied with their experience write off CBD and either return to their own traditional methods of symptom relief or move on to trying other options.

And worse yet, establishing a consistent supply chain in the CBD industry is almost impossible in our opinion. In the retail CBD business, companies experience constant hang-ups with vendors, making it so they are unable to fulfill orders, in-turn making it hard to provide consistent high-quality products.

Franny's Distribution handles every step of the production line which ensures high-quality products, spotless reputations and prevents us from the normal hiccups of the CBD and hemp industry. 

With the understanding gained from growing hemp on Franny's Farm, the Distribution team is well equipped to find the highest quality hemp to create our CBD extracts. By only partnering with manufacturers and processors in our area, we are able to be fully involved in crafting our final product and reliable source material as experts in the national hemp scene.

Frannys Distribution is able to leverage a number of relationships that help them minimize their risk and prevent product shortages and inconsistencies. “Franny’s Farm” grows and sells directly to Frannys Distribution while “Franny’s Manufacturing” produces the final products and sells it to Frannys Distribution to be the wholesale retailer at scale. 

These separate companies, all with common ownership by Jeff and Franny Tacy, were built with the intention of controlling the entire supply chain and maintaining the quality of the Franny's Distribution brand. For additional information about the relationship of these entities please see the Company Overview section of the offering document. 

We at Franny's Distribution, have begun rolling out a wholesale program which we believe will prevent us from a lot of the normal hangups related to the retail CBD supply chain. Because of our unique relationship with Franny's Farm grown hemp, we have the capacity to produce as much inventory as needed. To continue to build our inventory and distribution infrastructure, our team has decided to turn to crowdfunding and give you, the investor, an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an emerging industry. 

We are no strangers to running a successful campaign with StartEngine. During our last funding round, our offering oversubscribed its $107,000 goal in just 7 days! This was a remarkable milestone for us to hit. We now have another opportunity to start a new campaign and offer even more stock in our company.

And, we haven't just been raising funds. Just in the last 5 months, we have had some incredible growth:

• $385k in revenue for both wholesale and retail purchases
• 2 new dispensaries and 2 more leases signed for large wholesale accounts
• Launching a Franchise Offering, with the goal of opening 15 new franchises next year
• Added 292 investors to our Franny's Family
• Launched a whole new line of pet, baby and personal care products

Our successful raise has allowed us to re-invest directly back into the business, creating additional marketing campaigns, opening 2 stores, and hiring team members to open wholesale accounts in new states. 

The cannabis market is exploding with no end in sight. Companies and individuals are scrambling to carve a niche in this industry because the profits have no ceiling. The global legal marijuana market size was an estimated USD 13.8 billion in 2018. It is expected to expand nearly 25% by 2025 and continues to grow every month. The popularity as a treatment for cancer, arthritis, and neurological orders, as well as recreational use, has helped sky-rocket our industry. Governments also love the cannabis industry as it provides tax revenue to help fund schools, roads, and other programs. In Chicago, medical marijuana provided USD 52.7 million in taxes in 2018. Numbers like these encourage local and state governments to adopt medical marijuana.

Franny’s Distribution is growing at the same pace as the industry, where, in under a year we went from just local sales to a nationally recognized brand. We already have a significant foothold in this market, and our strong product line coupled with our organizational strength puts us in an incredible position to continue to profit in the CBD space.

Since we are a farm and we grow our own hemp, we have the luxury of knowing the exact quality of what our customer is receiving. This gives us the distinct pleasure of selling our product with confidence because we can guarantee we are producing the top product out there. Each day, we receive an outpouring of testimonials and powerful feedback about how much we have helped our customers and how much people enjoy Franny’s branded products.

Using the Purest Full-Spectrum Distillate to Deliver the Best

You'll see that many of the products on the market are made with CBD isolate. That used to be the norm. Now, we're raising the bar by using our full-spectrum distillate in all of our products. What does this mean? This means that instead of only getting the single CBD cannabinoid as you do with isolate, our products provide exposure to an array of cannabinoids.     

Here are a few reasons why we believe our products are better than most products on the market. 

• All products go from plant to sale.
• Full-Spectrum in all of our products.
• Locally grown, processed and packaged.
• Super high quality for a great price.
• Traceability and Accountability. 
• Excellent customer service.  
• We believe we have some of the best quality products on the market. 

Our products are comprised of simple and pure ingredients. No fillers or unnecessary ingredients will ever go into our products. We work with reputable manufacturers that operate in certified and inspected facilities. We stand by the sanitation and quality of our products from the field to the consumer. 

It is rare that you find a business in any industry, let alone the cannabis industry, that owns or manages the entirety of their supply chain. This is one of the reasons Franny’s Distribution presents such a unique opportunity. We are family owned and everyone that comes to work with us becomes part of our family.

Because of our fast growth and the confidence in our high-quality product, we have the luxury of being able to spend more money marketing our company and products than most of our competitors. We pride ourselves in having no backorders or shortages. We are a brand that stands out, one that you can trust in an uncertain marketplace.

We continue to find ways to expand our wholesale business through opening new dispensaries and our soon to launch Franchise Offering. We recently opened our own manufacturing facility which allows us to directly control the quality of both our branded products and our wholesale goods. This paired with our e-commerce site allows us to create a one-stop shop for customers, as well as our dispensaries looking to offering more of our premium products.

We plan to sell 10-15 franchises in the next year which will all become new wholesale accounts. We're using the money from the first campaign to expand our online marketing efforts which is already increasing our online retail sales as well as leading to almost weekly new wholesale accounts.

We are also growing our professional team. With three new employees, we are in the exciting growth phase where we need more help in order to keep up with the massive excitement around our products. With this interest, we are also hiring a brand development company to help us finalize the brand we are so proud of already. They will work with us to continue building out our messaging, graphic design, and more generally, help us become a household name around the country.

We've built an amazing team of dedicated professionals who are super excited to be working for Franny's Distribution. Our team includes the Marketing Director, order assemblers, product handlers, and product developers. Our system of vertical integration secures our supply chain and almost guarantees the availability of our products. This eliminates companies dependence on other suppliers and manufacturers.

Our products are comprised of simple and pure ingredients. No fillers or unnecessary ingredients will ever go into our products. We work with reputable manufacturers that operate in certified and inspected facilities. We stand by the sanitation and quality of our products from the field to the consumer.  

We chose equity crowdfunding because we want you to join our Franny's family. We hope you choose us because we have a fantastic brand, are in a gigantic industry, and have a strong company culture. Our success has come from the hard work of our entire team, and we want to give everyone the opportunity to be a part of it.

This is just the beginning. Leveraging our vertical integration plan should allow us to lessen our dependence on suppliers and manufacturers, taking the CBD market by storm. With your support, trust in our team, belief in our mission, we are confident we can continue to build our green dream.
