Revolution Cannabis, with a location in Moline, swept the Best in Grass (BiG) Illinois Awards with 13 wins across 16 categories.
Revolution’s performance, which includes nine golds, three silvers, and one bronze, has set a new benchmark in the state’s cannabis landscape, Revolution said in a news release.
“This historic win builds on Revolution’s distinguished reputation, adding to its 28 High Times Cannabis Cups and 6 Budtender Choice Awards, including “Best Overall Brand.” The BiG Illinois Awards, launched this year, already carry significant weight in the industry,” the release stated.
Born from a team with more than a decade of expertise in organizing the world’s largest cannabis competitions, the contest was judged in late October.
Revolution’s achievements place it firmly at the forefront of a highly competitive market, reinforcing its leadership in innovation, quality, and consumer appeal, the company said.
“We’re beyond thrilled to have received such prestigious recognition from the BiG Awards,” said Craig Johnson, CEO of Revolution. “This victory is a testament to our team’s dedication to excellence, and to the passion we pour into every strain, every product, and every experience we deliver to our consumers.”
The BiG Awards recognize the top licensed cannabis products across the nation, judged by real consumers in a uniquely authentic format. Over a period of four to eight weeks, anonymous judges sampled and evaluated each entry from the comfort of their homes, lending an unbiased, grassroots perspective to the awards.
“These awards are a powerful validation of the dedication and expertise that drive our team every day,” said Dan Hallanger, chief operating officer at Revolution Cannabis. “To our loyal consumers and supporters, thank you for inspiring us to keep pushing the boundaries of cannabis genetics.”
The awards come as Revolution Cannabis announces the completion of its strategic retail expansion, unifying its dispensary presence across Illinois. On Friday, Nov. 8, the company celebrated the grand reopening of its Mount Prospect and Schaumburg locations under the Revolution Dispensary banner. They join its existing locations in Moline, Maryville, and Normal to form a five-store Illinois network.
“The alignment of our award-winning products with our retail presence reinforces our commitment to delivering excellence at every touchpoint of the cannabis experience,” Oscar Carrillo, Revolution’s marketing director, said in the release.
