Juva Delivery™ Extends Service Areas for the San Francisco Peninsula and Adds Contactless Pre-pay Option
San Jose, Calif. – July 31, 2020: Juva Delivery, a division of vertically-integrated Juva Life, Inc., is expanding its service areas this week. The company offers white-glove service across the greater parts of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Located at the heart of the San Francisco Peninsula, this location brings legal cannabis delivery to an underserviced area where surrounding cities have yet to adopt commercial cannabis activity.
Juva Delivery will add Brisbane, Colma, Daly City, South San Francisco, and Broadmoor to the north, and Los Altos, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, West Santa Clara, and Loyola to the south.
The company began service to San Bruno, Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City, Hillsdale, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Woodside, Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills, Millbrae, and Mountain View in late January 2020. Since opening, Juva Delivery has seen double-digit sales growth week-over-week. In addition to their Redwood City location, Juva Life has received state approval for cannabis delivery in Stockton, CA, and is locally approved for delivery and storefront retail in Hayward, CA.
A cannabis retail industry veteran, CEO Doug Chloupek stated, “Our Redwood City location has been well received on the Peninsula and continues to receive stellar customer reviews. We’ve also forged incredible relationships with specific business groups including the Redwood City Chamber of Commerce, and the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau. Our Redwood City team did an incredible job during ‘shelter-in-place’, and they are looking forward to serving more customers on the Peninsula.”
Ever mindful of customers’ health, comfort, and well-being, Juva Delivery now offers contactless pre-payment options through Paytender, a secure, fee-free online payment service.
John Hutar, President of the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, noted, “Juva Delivery was the first cannabis company to join the Convention and Visitors Bureau. They’ve been very proactive and responsive to the needs of our other members, including co-hosting an informative webinar with us and offering discounts to hospitality industry staff furloughed during the shutdowns. We are thrilled they are continuing to grow.”

Investor Update 7/14/2020
Division and Facilities Progress
As mentioned in our last update, our Redwood City delivery service was deemed ‘essential’ under the California Governor’s stay-at-home executive order. Since commencing operations, Juva Delivery has seen double-digit growth week-over-week and will be expanding to service eleven additional cities on the Peninsula during Q3 2020. In late June, Juva was the first cannabis business to present to the members of the San Mateo County/Silicon Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau as well as regional elected officials. It marked the Visitors Bureau’s first foray into ‘Cannabis + Tourism’ and was well-received.
Juva Life’s state-of-the-art facility in Stockton, CA is in its final stages of construction. The offices are near completion and upon being issued a certificate of occupancy by the City, Juva Delivery will commence services within the Stockton area. The Company has been granted the necessary delivery licenses by the city of Stockton and the State of California. We anticipate commencing operations in September 2020.
The Stockton facility has also been designed to house seven cultivation rooms which will come online in phases. The first two rooms are expected to complete construction and receive their final inspections in late Q3 2020. Juva is expecting to commence cultivation during Q4 of 2020 and realize its initial harvests in Q1 of 2021. The initial two rooms alone have the capacity to produce 200 pounds of cannabis approximately every 32 days. Juva is also currently in discussions with major customers to contract the sale of our initial harvests.
Public Listing
Our preliminary prospectus has been filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”). We are currently in the comments phase and hope to have formal approval in the coming weeks to commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). Juva has also concurrently filed for a direct listing for the US markets. Once complete, this direct listing will allow Juva to trade directly on the OTC market in the US as well.
While our internal team has remained focused on completing the necessary steps towards our public listing, our initial timeline was delayed as COVID-19 slowed the response from regulatory agencies.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, our Transfer Agent was unable to send out any DRS statements. However, that service has recently been reinstated and the last of the statements are currently being delivered. These statements detail your investment in Juva Life and will allow your broker to electronically trade your Juva Life stock once our listing is approved.
Silicon Valley Magazine’s You can read the full story here.
We are extremely excited to see our efforts yielding results. We continue to build the business and strive to deliver long-term growth and shareholder value. We appreciate your patience and continued support of our vision.
CEO Candid
Juva Life’s CEO, Doug Chloupek, sat down with Jim Gordon for CEO Candid and explained Juva Life’s vertical integration and dedication to the scientific study of cannabis as a therapeutic.
Investor Updates: 3/24/2020
We wanted to share an update with our shareholders as we understand that, next to health and safety, your investments are top-of-mind as the equity markets have been affected by the current global status of COVID-19.
Our internal team remains focused on completing the necessary steps towards our public listing. We anticipate that our preliminary prospectus will be filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) within the coming weeks and, subject to the necessary approvals, we intend to file our listing applications on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and the US OTC Exchange.
The BCSC and CSE have both confirmed that, as of now, they will remain operating in order to service and support issuers and prospective issuers during the current global crisis. We do expect some delays during this process but remain focused to complete the necessary filings in a timely manner.
We also wanted to share news about Juva’s first active license, Juva Delivery in Redwood City, CA. California’s ‘shelter-in-place’ ordinance had been implemented at a county-level before it became a state-directed mandate. Juva Delivery was granted the necessary regulatory approvals to operate as cannabis was deemed medically necessary. In an interview by industry news leader, MJ Biz Daily, Juva’s CEO Doug Chloupek commented “Demand has increased exponentially… I have not had to furlough or lay off any employees. For that matter, we’ve been able to expedite the hiring of two new employees as of today.”
Juva Delivery has also commenced a strategic advertising campaign that launched earlier this week which consists of print ads debuting in regionally-targeted campaigns. As a result, Juva is the first cannabis company permitted to advertise in Modern Luxury’s exclusive Silicon Valley Magazine.
Another first for a cannabis business, Juva Delivery is now a member of the San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
On Friday, Doug was featured in an interview with Forbes. We encourage you to read the article and learn a little bit more about Doug’s history and vision.
Interestingly, it was Forbes that led to the hire of the newest member of Juva’s executive team. After reading an interview with marketing professional Heidi Minx, Doug knew he had found the ideal person to lead Juva’s initiatives. In early January, Minx was appointed as the Vice President of Marketing.
Doug noted, “We’re fortunate to have been able to add Heidi to our team. She is well respected in the cannabis space and has strong connections with both legacy operators as well as those that are newer to the industry. Heidi’s work has given her incredible insight into the regulations that have evolved over the past few years and the nuanced compliance this industry requires. It’s rare to find such a seasoned marketing professional that understands the respective audiences a cannabis business today must communicate with.”
Minx will oversee the strategic launches and ongoing marketing efforts for Juva Cultivation, Juva Research, Juva Manufacturing, Juva Distribution, Juva Retail, and Juva Delivery. We encourage you to read more about her in the Forbes interview that inspired Doug!
From all of us at Juva, we wish you all the best with health, family and loved ones during these difficult times.
