CBD products company saw big demand during pandemic
From CNN Business' Anneken Tappe
It was hard to feel calm last year as the pandemic shook the world. Feeling at peace was "certainly something we all needed," said Summer Frein, general manager at CBD products business Lord Jones.
"We were fortunate enough to be, at the start of the pandemic, to be considered an essential business," and that helped the company to keep up with consumer demand, Frein said on the CNN Business digital live show
Markets Now.
"I think everyone across the world faced some sort of supply issues," even though the company's woes weren't material, she added about operating during the pandemic.
The company started as a cannabis collective before turning into a consumer business and gaining a cult following among celebrities, including actress Kristen Bell, who collaborated on a product line with Lord Jones. Next up, the company wants to become a household name.
