Nabis, the nation’s leading licensed cannabis wholesale platform, announced its acquisition of Blackbird, the premier Nevada-based distribution solution. This transition will bring Nabis’ technology, infrastructure and exclusive brands to Blackbird’s network of Nevada operators and retailers, further strengthening and streamlining efficiencies for operating partners throughout the state’s greater supply chain.
Combining Nabis’ marketplace and multi-channel fulfillment network with Blackbird’s established expertise in Nevada, this acquisition brings forth a new unified customer experience for cannabis wholesaling in the region. Nabis is now positioned as a centralized software platform for brands and retailers to efficiently conduct commerce, pioneering a one-stop-shop model to address the fragmented wholesaling options that currently exist in the U.S. cannabis industry.
Blackbird’s operations and infrastructure currently services approximately 25% of Nevada’s cannabis market, and is a trusted partner for a multitude of reputable brands, operators, and MSOs. Through Nabis’ acquisition, brands will now benefit from a greater investment of resources from the industry’s leading platform. Nabis will bolster existing operations with a dynamic suite of tech tools including comprehensive sales insights and unparalleled payment solutions.
As the top licensed cannabis wholesaling platform, Nabis' acquisition of Blackbird not only strengthens the multi-state supply chain, but also offers operating partners a clear path toward regional expansion into Nevada’s burgeoning market. This opportunity is a pioneering roadmap to capitalize on the connection between two of the country’s most vital cannabis markets: California, the largest legal market in the U.S., and Nevada, which is ranked 3rd for most visited state in the country with nearly 40 million people visiting the state on an annual basis.
