LETHAM, Scotland, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MDJM LTD (Nasdaq: UOKA) (the "Company" or "MDJM"), an integrated global culture-driven asset management company, today announced that it had received the final licensing approval on August 19, 2025 and officially opened a new bar on August 19, 2025 at the Robin Hill Hotel, located in the seaside tourism town of Torquay, United Kingdom. The launch marks a strategic milestone in the Company's efforts to diversify revenue streams while enriching the experiential and cultural value of its hospitality portfolio.

With its licensing and operational launch, the new bar — Time and Stars — expands Robin Hill Hotel's offerings through on-site beverage services, curated event programming, and immersive guest experiences. The Company believes this addition will elevate the property's regional profile and serve as a pilot for future hospitality asset enhancements.

Housed in a Victorian heritage building, Time and Stars is a culturally distinctive venue that blends classical art, contemplative ambiance, and stargazing. The space features reproductions of Van Gogh and Monet paintings, an observatory-style sunroom equipped with a Dobsonian telescope, and interiors designed to inspire reflection on time, space, and self.

The bar is led by William Taylor, a seasoned hospitality professional with nearly a decade of industry experience, including prior leadership roles at JAM Leisure Group and The Aeronaut in London. Mr. Taylor holds a BA from Buckinghamshire New University, and brings a strong background in cocktail service, licensing compliance, and venue operations. His management of the bar is expected to further enhance service quality and support the future growth of bar events and cultural engagement. More than a traditional bar, Time and Stars invites guests — whether in solitude or in company — into a setting that evokes both nostalgia and wonder. The concept complements Robin Hill Hotel's cultural identity and supports MDJM's long-term strategy to cultivate lifestyle-oriented assets with global appeal.

In addition to serving hotel guests, the bar is positioned to attract local patrons seeking a refined, atmospheric setting for casual gatherings or quiet moments. With its unique design and thematic concept, Time and Stars strengthens Robin Hill Hotel's boutique positioning and on-site revenue potential. This addition is expected to further enhance its appeal as a distinctive accommodation choice for vacation travelers.

"The launch of our licensed bar at Robin Hill Hotel is a strategic step forward in expanding our operational footprint and enriching our cultural hospitality portfolio," said Mr. Siping Xu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MDJM. "We believe this will not only drive new revenue opportunities for our company and value for shareholders, but also reinforce our commitment to developing cultural properties that integrate heritage, creativity, and experiential value."
