Michigan-based Vlasic Labs bringing CBD to people & pets
The Detroit Free Press shares that Vlasic (yes THAT Vlasic) is making CBD products for people & pets:
But that’s exactly what the Vlasic family is doing. Under the name Vlasic Labs, the family behind the largest American pickle brand is taking on a new mission of making CBD products for pets and people alike. Rick Vlasic of West Bloomfield, and his son, Willy Vlasic, 28, of Farmington Hills, co-founded Vlasic Labs four years ago to offer safe, high-quality, non-psychoactive cannabis products.
“As it became legal in Michigan, my dad started to take it more seriously from a business perspective, and my mom started using the topical ointments and creams and even her mom was using them,” Willy Vlasic said. “I couldn’t believe that members of my family were using something that had come from a derivative of cannabis, that had anything to do with cannabis, but that is kind of how they became to get warmed up to it.”
…”The family name is being held to a high standard. At the end of the day we want to provide products that are quality, and safe consistently, but they’re affordable.”
Willy Vlasic said he saw a hole in the market, where CBD products were associated with under-the-counter sales and underregulated products sold at gas stations. At Vlasic Labs, his goal is accuracy in labeling and well-tested products that can help people.
“I’ve gotten to product into 59 new stores in four states in the last week, and that’s great, you know, business is cool and we want to do good family business,” Willy Vlasic said. “But when I give one old lady our roll on (product) and she tells me it helps us with her pain, like, that makes me more happy than any sale or store placement or distribution.”
