ABCO Garden State Completing Phase 1 Sales While Phase 2 Construction Progresses

MEDFORD, Ore., Dec. 15, 2025 – Grown Rogue International Inc. (“Grown Rogue” or the “Company“) (CSE: GRIN) (OTC: GRUSF), a cannabis company focused on premium flower that merges artisanal principles with operational discipline, is happy to inform investors about developments at its New Jersey partner, ABCO Garden State, LLC (“ABCO”), which is celebrating one year since its inaugural sale on December 11, 2024.

Throughout the past year, ABCO has steadily increased manufacturing and revenue from its facility’s initial phase. Phase 1 output has been moving toward Grown Rogue’s original goal of generating over 500 pounds of flower monthly. During the most recent quarter, ABCO has reached complete inventory turnover, with typical monthly merchandise volumes now surpassing 600 pounds, and branded, packaged goods accounting for more than 80% of transactions.

The Company has experienced considerable market interest and uptake for its budget-friendly Yeti brand following its official launch to New Jersey consumers during the summer. Monthly Yeti revenue, encompassing flower and pre-rolls, grew from roughly 96 pounds in June to about 203 pounds in November, indicating expanding customer awareness and retail backing. Phase 2 development is currently in progress, and upon final completion, should boost manufacturing capability to over 1,000 pounds per month.

“Marking our first complete year of New Jersey sales, we’ve gained substantial insights into Northeastern markets and the unique market framework and buyer behaviors present in New Jersey,” stated Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue. “The scaling process required more time than anticipated, yet we consistently maintained our core belief that consumers seek excellent products at competitive prices, and our structure enables us to meet that demand with careful scaling.”

“Like any new operation, it required several cycles to find our rhythm, and it’s thrilling to witness the team pushing us toward Grown Rogue-standard performance that enables complete inventory turnover and brand growth,” Strickler added. “Our sales and operations staff are motivated by the Phase 2 launch, and we trust this subsequent expansion stage will strengthen our position in the New Jersey marketplace while adhering to our measured capital investment strategy.”

“I take pride in our team’s flexibility, and I’m especially satisfied because the expertise acquired here in New Jersey will benefit us as we move into additional markets,” Strickler noted. “Our organization is designed for ongoing enhancement, and it remains perfectly obvious that operating as a low-cost manufacturer of artisanal-quality goods will succeed in any marketplace.”
