Demonstrating sustained growth and demand in the Canadian market

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / July 3, 2025 / LQR House Inc. (the "Company" or "LQR House") (NASDAQ:YHC), a niche ecommerce platform specializing in the spirits and beverage industry, is pleased to announce that Of The Earth Distribution Corp., an Ontario-based importer of premium craft spirits, has placed its third major purchase order, totaling 176 cases of SWOL Tequila.

The Company believes that this latest order reflects continued momentum across both trade and consumer channels in the Ontario market. The Company also introduced a refreshed 9-bottle case format and an enhanced bottle design, both aimed at increasing shelf visibility and reinforcing the brand's premium positioning.

The growing volume supports LQR House's broader expansion strategy into Canada's hospitality industry. In the past quarter alone, Of The Earth Distribution has onboarded 40 new on-premise accounts, spanning licensed restaurants, bars, and clubs throughout Ontario. At the same time, direct-to-consumer sales have shown steady growth, signaling strong product-market fit and growing brand recognition.

"This new order is both a response to market demand and a signal of where we're headed as a company," said Jason Pucci, Founder and CEO of Of The Earth Distribution Corp. "The updated case size supports greater efficiency for our trade partners, while the new bottle design represents a significant step forward in aligning our visual identity with the premium quality of the product inside."

Sean Dollinger, CEO of LQR House, added "I've always said-three is a streak. In a category as saturated and competitive as tequila, where new brands seem to appear daily, we consider this level of repeat demand a clear validation of our strategy and the product's impact. It's incredibly rewarding to watch something resonate so strongly in the market, and I believe this momentum is just the beginning of where we're headed."
