In addition, NUG has developed strategic relations with other San Leandro businesses to help <br />drive our customers to shop at local businesses, engaged in Chamber activities, and contributed <br />countless hours to support our local community benefits partner the Davis Street Family <br />Resource Center. <br /> <br />Only Original License Holder <br /> <br />NUG is the only original license holder in good standing with all regulations, current on all tax <br />obligations, and current with all vendors. San Leandro has issued a total of three cannabis retail <br />licenses since inception of the City’s cannabis program. Two licenses have traded hands as part <br />of corporate transactions and/or financial restructurings. One of these licenses has lost its lease <br />and has not transacted in 2025. The other license has limited hours of operation. As a result, San <br />Leandro cannabis customers are under-served and the City is not receiving its full revenue <br />potential. <br /> <br />Expansion of Retail Operations and Online Sales <br /> <br />NUG continues to expand its retail footprint and offer new services. We currently operate nine <br />stores in California and one in New York. We have made considerable investments in <br />establishing a premium retail experience, including a focus on both in-store and online <br />commerce. <br /> <br />The NUG platform offers customers the flexibility of shopping online for in-store pickup or <br />delivery, all while earning loyalty points that can be used at any participating NUG store. <br />Approximately 22% of all NUG’s retail sales currently come from online sales. In San Leandro <br />that number is nearly 30%. This growth in online sales has allowed NUG to reduce the amount <br />of cash it handles, as most online sales are prepaid through digital payments (ACH & debit). <br /> <br />The focus on online sales has not been without its challenges. We now have a new customer <br />segment that we must cater to; online shoppers that want a quick in-and-out pickup experience. <br />NUG has installed express pickup counters in San Leandro to accommodate the growth in online <br />orders. However, this shift in customer demographics has pushed our current facility to its limits. <br /> <br />Proposal for New NUG Facility in San Leandro <br /> <br />NUG has secured a lease for 1911 Fairway Drive and wishes to establish a “satellite” or <br />“express” retail cannabis facility at the site. The proposed facility would serve primarily to fulfill <br />online orders and offer an “express” in-store experience. The addition of this facility would <br />alleviate traffic from our current facility on Teagarden Street and would allow a renewed focus <br />on a personal in-store experience. <br /> <br />The Fairway Drive site is the former location of one of the other licensed cannabis retailers in <br />San Leandro. As such, the site has already gone through the Conditional Use Permit process and <br />is fully entitled for retail cannabis sales. If granted a permit to operate at this site, NUG would <br />comply with the requirements of this existing Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: DB4F77C5-B1DB-4F04-B30D-261E728806F6
