Green Thumb Industries Opens Its 10th RISE Dispensary in Florida

NEW YORK— RISE Dispensaries, a burgeoning cannabis retail chain under Green Thumb Industries Inc., proudly announced the inauguration of RISE Dispensary Sun City Center. Marking their 10th retail footprint in Florida and the 86th on a national scale, this dispensary is set to open its doors on Oct. 27.

In commemoration of this milestone, RISE Dispensary Sun City Center is organizing a grand opening celebration on Nov. 14. The festivities will not only feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by South Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce representatives, but also a heartwarming gesture where the day’s profits will be channeled to the charitable cause of Minorities for Medical Marijuana (M4MM).

Speaking on this occasion, Anthony Georgiadis, the President of Green Thumb, expressed the company’s exhilaration on expanding their footprint in Florida, especially as they approach the half-decade mark of serving medical cannabis patients in the state. “Our team deeply values cultivating meaningful ties with the communities we serve. Our upcoming store opening in Sun City Center continues our tradition of charitable donations during such inaugurations, and we’re thrilled to support Minorities for Medical Marijuana,” said Georgiadis.

M4MM operates with a vision to build a more inclusive cannabis industry. Their spectrum of activities includes the Safe Access initiative, aiming to make medical cannabis cards available at zero cost, specifically targeting low-income and veteran patients. As part of its ongoing commitment, RISE Dispensaries extends its support to M4MM through the ‘Round Up Program’ across Florida. Here, customers are presented with an option to round up their in-store purchases to the closest dollar, with the surplus directed towards M4MM.

Having established its roots in Florida in 2018, Green Thumb has since fortified its presence with two production hubs situated in Ocala and Homestead. Adhering to top-tier cultivation and manufacturing practices, Green Thumb ascertains a consistent, true-to-plant experience for its consumers. RISE Dispensaries, as Green Thumb’s retail face, stays unwavering in its mission of enhancing well-being access through cannabis, coupled with leaving a lasting positive mark on the communities they serve.

Beyond the Sun City Center location, cannabis aficionados can find nine other RISE Dispensaries sprinkled across Florida, spanning areas from Bonita Springs to West Palm Beach. Each of these locations is also equipped to offer delivery services, ensuring ease of access for their clientele.
