PENTICTON, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2021 / EastWest Bioscience Inc. (“EastWest” or “Company”) (TSXV:EAST), reports that it is adding self-storage to its already diverse revenue streams through a new subsidiary, 1290185 B.C. LTD, (“185”), which is an early stage company intending to build high-quality self-storage facilities across Western Canada.
EastWest recognizes that its Penticton facility is currently grossly under utilized and believes that, due to increasing demand in the BC interior, self-storage will be an efficient use for the facility. Further, the Company recognizes that it does not have the in-house expertise to operate a self-storage facility and it is therefore obtaining the required resources to carry out its plan to monetize its existing facility. EastWest will provide further details as the self-storage facility is completed, anticipated for Q4 2021.
Rodney Gelineau, President and CEO of EastWest commented, “We are excited to enter into this growing and lucrative line of business. Self storage demand has increased substantially over the past decade and we feel we are ideally positioned to add this diversified business line to our growing offering of consumer-driven businesses.”
