(2) The business address of the applicant;

(3) The complete telephone number and email address of the applicant;

(4) The location of the facility where the applicant will store consumable hemp products and otherwise operate as a wholesaler of consumable hemp products in this state and whether such facility is owned or leased by the applicant; and
