Eight Additional Dispensaries Expected to Open in Virginia by End of 2022 – Bringing Total to 12 State-Wide
Columbia Care Inc. (NEO: CCHW) (CSE: CCHW) (OTCQX: CCHWF) (FSE: 3LP) (“Columbia Care” or the “Company”), one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and providers of cannabis products in the U.S., announced today the opening of Cannabist Virginia Beach, its fourth dispensary in the Commonwealth and 23rd Cannabist nationwide, located at 535 N Birdneck Road.
“Virginia’s demand for high quality cannabis continues to grow, and we’re here to answer the call with our new Virginia Beach dispensary to serve the most populous city in the state,” said Jesse Channon, Chief Growth Officer of Columbia Care. “We’re thankful to the Board of Pharmacy and local officials for their continued support of our presence in the state and for allowing us to bring this critical medicine to patients in need. As conversations around adult use in Virginia progress, we are eager and excited to make cannabis more accessible, and to expand our transformation to Cannabist across the country.”
The new dispensary marks Columbia Care’s fourth location in Virginia, following its recently announced gLeaf opening in Glen Allen, a Richmond suburb. The Company is licensed to operate a market-leading total of 12 dispensaries between Columbia Care and gLeaf to serve the growing base of nearly 40,000 registered medical patients across the state. To support this retail footprint, Columbia Care currently operates nearly 148,000 square feet of existing cultivation and production capacity and has a fleet of delivery vehicles able to serve the entire state.
