What CBD Kratom does

CBD Kratom is a privately held US specialty retailer that sells lab-tested cannabis, hemp, and kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) products through 55+ physical stores across six major metros (Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia) and a national e-commerce storefront. The catalog spans more than 650 SKUs organized by active ingredient (CBD, THC variants including Delta-8, Delta-9, THCA, Kratom, Kava, CBG, CBN) and by consumer benefit (Rest & Unwind, Calm & Balance, Energy, Comfort & Recovery, Mental Clarity), with product forms ranging from edibles, beverages, capsules, powders, tinctures, and extracts to vapes, topicals, flower, and pet products. Own and partner brands include Korthals' Collection, DER, beeZbee, Song Ryder, 1906, WellBeing Brewing Co., and Chemdawg's. The core technology is operational rather than digital: every batch is independently lab-tested, with compliance to the 2018 Farm Bill (less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC) and active engagement with hemp-industry associations.

The business model combines one-time retail purchases across a price range of $8-$120+, a Bundle & Save discount tier (up to 25% off), and an Auto-Replenish subscription service for recurring orders. Fulfillment options include same-day local delivery in select cities, Buy Online Pick Up In Store (BOPIS), and free nationwide shipping on orders over $100. Go-to-market relies on educational content (Cannabis Guide, Kratom Guide, Glossary, blog), a loyalty program (Real Green Rewards), and official partnerships with the University of Florida (UFL), Texas Live, Ballpark, and the St. Louis Battlehawks to build consumer trust in a regulated category. Customer segmentation is hybrid and includes Starter, Everyday, Experienced, and Wellness-Focused consumer personas.

Distribution is multi-channel: own-branded retail storefronts, own e-commerce site, same-day local delivery, BOPIS, and home shipping — with explicit geographic exclusions in 15+ jurisdictions (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and specific counties in Florida, California, Illinois, Mississippi, and Louisiana for kratom; 11 states including Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, and Vermont for THCA). No revenue, headcount, funding, ownership, or founding date is disclosed in the source material.
