We are thrilled to announce that we achieved significant milestone accomplishments surpassing our expectations over the past year! Here are some highlights of our achievements:

• Acquired the assets of Betterment Retail Solutions. A Texas-based distributor providing DSD (Direct to Store Delivery) to over 470 retail locations throughout Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Wyoming, Missouri, and Nebraska. This acquisition has strengthened our relationships with convenience store chains like Yesway/Allsups and Texas Born.
• Entered into a partnership with Yesway/Allsups for placement of our "Feel Good Shop+," a "store within a store" concept offering a curated product mix of CBD, recreational hemp, and other cannabinoid products. Providing superior point-of-sale placement for our top products.
• Secured a license agreement to create Yuengling's Ice Cream flavored recreational hemp products. Yuengling's is an extremely popular household name in the northeast, bosting distribution into thousands of retail locations.
• Secured a master distributor agreement with Tech Armor, selling screen protectors and mobile device accessories.
• Secured a master distributor agreement with SurgePays, to provide Surgepays fintech products and services to GPOX retail partners as well as distribute GPOX products through the SurgePays marketplace.
• Secured a master distributor agreement with Hempacco selling hemp cigarettes, smoking paper, and alternatives to nicotine tobacco products. Some of Hempacco's products include Hemp Hop, a partnership with hip-hop icon Rick Ross and Rap Snacks founder and CEO James Lindsay, as well as Cheech and Chong licensed products.
• Acquired Nutriumph, a leading seller of nutraceutical and vitamin supplements, including their banner product Herberall®.
• Launched GPOX Labs, a division to focus on online direct-to-consumer sales, using an advanced proprietary technology we call "MSRP" (multi-site replicating platform) with strong analytics. In essence, one back-end engine powering multiple front-end landing pages and sales funnels to maximize SEO and long tail search engine optimization for new customer acquisition.
• Appointed artist and entrepreneur Ray J as Chief Digital Strategist and brand Ambassador for Herberall®, accessing numerous celebrity and social media marketing relationships.

GPOX currently services approximately 570 stores across 12 states centralized in the Southwest and Midwest regions of the United States. Our main distribution hub is located in Lubbock, Texas, servicing approximately 470 retail locations and expanding. We consider DISTRO+ Lubbock a "Regional Hub" supporting a primary geographical area of approximately 150-mile radius and a secondary radius of up to 400 miles. To deliver our high touch, "white-glove" DSD ("Direct to Store Delivery) model and ensure excellence of service, we implemented a "Region Hub" strategy, supported by "Mini Hubs" located outside of the 150-mile radius.
