Atlanta, GA and Las Vegas, NV - (NewMediaWire) - December 12, 2022 - Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (“Yuengling’s”) (OTC PINK: YCRM) is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with GPO Plus, Inc. (OTCQB: GPOX). GPOX will develop a full line of CBD and other hemp derived cannabinoid products based on the iconic flavors of Yuengling’s Ice Cream.
“We are very excited to be working with GPOX”, said Chuck Green, Yuengling’s incoming President and CEO. “As we plan for the relaunch of Yuengling’s Ice Cream in the spring of 2023, we have been thinking of different ways to leverage the Yuengling’s brand. A licensing agreement must be with a quality organization with great products. GPOX fits both those criteria."
Robert Bohorad, Yuengling’s current President and CEO and soon to be COO and CFO, followed up, “While I got the process started, Chuck has been instrumental in advancing discussions with YIC - Online and Retail Distributors and GPOX and getting the agreement signed.”
In the nutraceutical, hemp derived products and Farm Bill Compliant Delta 8, 9 and 10, THC-o, THC-p, THC-x, THC-b, and other popular hemp derived cannabinoids including HHC, and Kratom segments, GPOX’s DISTRO+ division represents only the highest quality brands that use best in class ingredients.

Brett H. Pojunis, CEO of GPOX added, “I grew up in New York, where Yuengling’s is a household name and a very popular brand throughout the Northeast. I am beyond excited to partner with the Yuengling’s Ice Cream family and be tasked to develop the new CBD and Cannabinoid products for such a storied, well known legacy brand. We’re extremely excited about building out the sales channels, based on our complimentary geographic reach, and developing this new suite of products based on the Yuengling’s Ice Cream flavor profiles!”

About Yuengling’s Ice Cream (YCRM)
Yuengling’s Ice Cream was founded by American businessman Frank D. Yuengling in 1920 to help support the family brewery during Prohibition, which lasted from January, 1920 to December, 1933. Spun off as a separate company from the brewery in 1935, Yuengling's maintained a strong tradition of making exceptional gourmet ice cream products in central Pennsylvania. The fan-favorite brand advanced its legacy and its renowned dairy quality by using locally sourced dairy ingredients that contain no added hormones. The company discontinued production in 1985 when no family successor emerged. In 2014, the brand was revived and an American classic was re-born. The Yuengling's Ice Cream Corporation, as it has been since 1935, is a separately owned and operated company from D. G. Yuengling & Son, Inc Brewery. After a corporate reorganization in 2022, the company is targeting the relaunch of its storied ice cream flavors in the spring/summer of 2023.
