KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Sept. 3, 2019 – Blühen Botanicals entered the hemp industry in 2018 as presenting sponsor of the Southern Hemp Expo, and the emerging hemp company will be presenting sponsor of the event again in 2019.
In its first year, Blühen made significant gains in the domestic hemp industry including a $30.06 million investment from SOL Global Investments Corp. as part of SOL Global’s portfolio company, Heavenly Rx.
Blühen opened its 4,086 sq. ft. flagship retail wellness location in Knoxville, TN in May 2019 and launched its premium brand of hemp products including full spectrum extract oil, softgels, flower, and pre-rolls.
