Yes, this is the same Aphria that just reported quarterly revenues of $128.6 Million. It’s the same Aphria that saw revenue grow 969% from its prior year. And it’s the same Aphria that sold over 1,400 kg equivalents for medical cannabis sales in the quarter…and this is where ParcelPal comes in!
As Forbes Scooped earlier this morning and ParcelPal confirmed thereafter, ParcelPal (PTNYF) (PKG) entered into a strategic partnership for the delivery of Aphria’s medical cannabis products.

Considering that Aphria’s average price for medical cannabis for the quarter was $7.66 per gram, that means Aphria sells 1 KG for around $7,600…now do the math on what they reported JUST FOR THE QUARTER! ParcelPal now taps directly into that business line.
Now, distribution and delivery will commence in Calgary, Alberta, at first but expansion into other areas is expected to follow shortly.
“The legal cannabis space continues to serve as a sector filled with significant growth potential for ParcelPal. Management believes that we are launching our legal cannabis delivery platform at the ideal time as legislation across the country continues to expand the addressable cannabis marketplace. We expect to leverage numerous business opportunities in the upcoming year.

This isn’t the only thing in the pipeline for ParcelPal either. Even with the sheer size and scope of this deal with Aphria, don’t forget that the company has also been building up other assets as well.

The New Market Reach Could Be Unparalleled
Urban Juve hemp products are currently sold in over 90 locations including well-known pharmacy chains across North America, with a plan to expand that to 130 retail outlets in the near future.
Customers will be able to track their purchase in real-time and have their product delivered to any location they specify. As time and regulations allow, ParcelPal’s cannabis network will continue to grow, with the goal of capturing a major piece of Canada’s $5.2 B legal cannabis market.
ParcelPal also formally announced that it will be integrating with Shopify (SHOP) to offer cannabis products to customers of Shopify shops. This will be available in Vancouver, Calgary, and Saskatchewan. Customers ordering from Shopify stores in these areas will be able to receive cannabis at their own homes.
“Shopify is the main e-commerce platform in Canada for cannabis. Our integration onto the Shopify platform allows us to easily integrate and begin executing within the space.”
ParcelPal’s President and CEO Kelly Abbott told Benzinga
Two of the company’s current clients (Choom Holdings and Kiaro) already have been established on the Shopify platform. The move, as the company puts it, will “give them an omnichannel approach to their sales. This will give us access to the recreational and medical market.”
