"The acquisition of Bridgetown perfectly aligns with the new ethos of GrowLife" said newly appointed CEO Dave Dohrmann. "It was very important to me that we needed to not just enter the mushroom business but do so by controlling our own supply chain and product quality. With Bridgetown I found exactly what I was looking for. While we are announcing the acquisition today, Grow Life and Bridgetown have been working on our expansion strategy for months now and have made great progress already. I am humbled that Trevor and his team decided to join forces with us over many other suitors. Bridgetown is an amazing company with a wonderful brand and Trevor is one of the most sought after and respected mushroom farmers in the United States. Bridgetown is perfectly positioned to become the dominant player in this market and our coming together is going to allow the Company to accelerate their growth plans."
"After five years of building the Bridgetown organization and growing our brand, I had been looking for a partner who could not only accelerate our ambitious growth plans with expansion capital, but one who also understood the diversity and potential within this booming sector," said Trevor Huebert. "There are so many synergies I see between Dave and the new team he has been assembling at GrowLife. They have taken the time to understand the depth and size of this market opportunity and together we now have the combined expertise and experience needed to give Bridgetown a nationwide presence. As Dave mentioned, we have been working together already these past few months and our go forward growth and execution plan is well underway."
