Curaleaf And Greenhouse Group Each Open New Stores

Cannabis company Curaleaf Holdings Inc. CURA CURLF announced the grand opening of Curaleaf Brandon in Florida.

The new store — located at 846 E. Brandon Blvd. — is Curaleaf’s 31st location in The Sunshine State. The news comes on the heels of Curaleaf's debut in Utah and the company's launching 90 stores in the country.

Moreover, it's the third new retail location in the Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater metropolitan area, the Wakefield, Massachusetts company opened over the quarter.

"We are committed to creating brands and innovative consumption formats that make cannabis accessible for all," Curaleaf president Joe Bayern stated Thursday.

Florida patients have given Curaleaf "tremendously positive feedback on our Select and Curaleaf products," he added.

The company intends to reach Tampa Bay's patients with the new product offering, including edibles, which were recently approved by the states' regulatory body.

Separately, Trulieve Cannabis Corp. TRUL TCNNF became the first cannabis company in the state to launch an assortment of edible cannabis products, following regulatory approval.
