JIMI HENDRIX - Giant 32-Foot Tall Statue Planned For East Vancouver

The owner of Vancouver’s Jimi Hendrix shrine has big plans for the future of his tourist attraction.

Vincent Fodera relocated the shrine in early June of this year since his old location was in much need of a renovation. The new location on Homer Street continues to do justice in commemorating Jimi Hendrix, by featuring historic pictures, paintings, memorabilia, and instruments all over its walls.

When he heads back to his old location in a couple years, Fodera said there’s going to be some major changes taking place.

A new project he has planned wants to see a 32-foot-tall Jimi Hendrix statue erected on the corner of Union and Main streets.

“There’s statues all over the place in Italy,” he said. “I admire statues made for kings and royalty.”

Nutritional High International Inc. recently announced that the company has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement, under which the company may manufacture and distribute various marijuana and hemp-based edible products using the song titles and bearing the likeness of Jimi Hendrix.

“Jimi Hendrix is one of the most legendary rock guitarists of all time and this partnership should create instant brand recognition for our edible marijuana products by Jimi’s fans across North America,” said David Posner, CEO of Nutritional High. “Entering into brand partnerships with the world’s foremost marijuana-related artists is a core component of our strategy, and we are honored to become part of Jimi’s legacy,” he added.

A variety of products under the Edibles Experience banner are in development including the “Purple Haze” line of THC-based products and the “Stone Free” line of CBD-based, non-psychoactive health products.
