Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods is partnering with Bayou City Hemp Company and 8th Wonder Cannabis to add their full portfolio of hemp-derived THC beverages to store shelves throughout Texas. Products to be available at all 238 locations include HOWDY, Beach Break and the entire 8th Wonder Cannabis product line, the company states.
Bayou City Hemp recently acquired 8th Wonder, Houston’s decade-old brewery and distillery, to become a cannabis and craft beverage company. Spec’s move to introduce hemp-derived THC beverages to their customers is helping to pave the way for this emerging industry, according to the company.
Expansion Throughout Texas
Over 250 major metro retailers in the Lone Star State have embraced 8th Wonder’s products with open arms. Bayou City Hemp and 8th Wonder expect to see their footprint double over the next month as Spec’s and other retailers add the full portfolio to their shelves, menus and bars, the company states.
“We have taken Texas by storm with our safe, high-quality hemp-derived THC products. No one is better suited to supply the state of Texas due to our capacity and existing distribution channels,” said Ben Meggs, CEO Bayou City Hemp and 8th Wonder, in a news release. “We couldn’t be more excited to reach an even wider audience thanks to Spec’s trust in our products.”
“Spec’s has always been the industry leader in new products and this is no exception. The alternative beverage niche is only growing in both reputation and customer requests,” said Lisa Rydman-Lindsey, Spec’s Family 3rd Generation, in the release. “Our customers know that we will bring them the best in class products and with this partnership we are once again showing our commitment to great brands like 8th Wonder and our customers.”
In addition to interest across Texas, Bayou City Hemp and 8th Wonder products will be entering into 2-to-3 new states over the course of the next few months, the company states.
