Dixie Brands

What Dixie Brands does

Dixie Brands (legally Dixie Elixirs LLC, now part of BellRock Brands) is a US-based cannabis consumer products company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio of THC- and CBD-infused products across four primary delivery systems: ingestion (elixirs, chocolates, gummies), oral mucosal (mints, dew drops), inhalation, and transdermal (topicals). Core product lines include Elixirs (carbonated THC beverages), Straight Up and SYNERGY chocolates, OG Series and SYNERGY gummies, and microdose mints. All products are produced using CO2-extracted THC and undergo triple lab testing that exceeds state-mandated batch testing requirements, with proprietary homogenization technology in beverages claimed to increase bioavailability and shorten onset time. The company operates as a wholesale B2B manufacturer, selling exclusively to licensed dispensaries in states where medical or adult-use cannabis is legal, with a parallel network of state-authorized distributors handling intra-state logistics. Dixie generates no direct-to-consumer revenue because federal prohibition on interstate cannabis transport prevents cross-border shipping.

Dixie operates in 9+ US states including Colorado, California, Nevada, Maryland, Michigan, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, and (as of late 2023) Arkansas and Missouri. Distribution is segmented by state due to regulatory fragmentation, and the company maintains production capabilities within each operating state. The customer base is fragmented across thousands of independent dispensaries; no enterprise anchor accounts are disclosed. The business was historically funded through multiple equity rounds totaling approximately $37M+ between 2014 and 2019, and the legal entity was publicly traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (originally as DIXI.U, then as BRCK.U after the October 2020 merger with BR Brands to form BellRock Brands) and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In January 2026, KEY Investment Partners acquired the BellRock Brands portfolio — including Dixie, Mary's Medicinals, and other brands — out of receivership, installing former Curaleaf CEO Joe Bayern as CEO to lead the recapitalized business.
