Cannabis seltzer brand WYNK is the first in the beverage category to exhibit at the National Restaurant Show, a trade show dedicated to the restaurant and bar industry, which runs from May 18 – 21 in Chicago.
“The distribution of low-dose cannabis beverages into the restaurant and bar trade has been steadily expanding as more and more operators want to offer this new category to their customers,” said Phil McFarland, General Manager for WYNK, in a news release.
WYNK is currently available in restaurants and bars in 14 states, with accounts such as the 2Bears Tavern Group and Thalia Hall in Chicago, IL and Cask ‘n Flagon in Boston, MA. Wynk also recently launched in Nashville, TN and Austin, TX, the brand states.
“We’ve seen that with fewer Millennials and GenZ’s consuming alcohol, offering them a cannabis drink is a successful way to grow sales and attract new customers to an on-premise beverage program,” said Angus Rittenburg, CEO of Wynk parent company Wherehouse Beverage Co., in the release.
