GREEN THUMB EXPANDS PENNSYLVANIA RETAIL FOOTPRINT WITH RISE DISPENSARY LEBANON

Rise Dispensaries, a rapidly growing cannabis retail chain owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc., has opened its latest Pennsylvania location, Rise Dispensary Lebanon. Located at 1600 W Cumberland St., conveniently near downtown Lebanon off Route 422, Rise Dispensary Lebanon is the company's 19th retail location in Pennsylvania and 108th nationwide.

Rise Dispensary Lebanon brings Pennsylvania patients best-in-class products and convenient services, such as on-line preorder for pickup. Rise Dispensary Lebanon is open 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Sundays, offering a variety of products from Green Thumb's portfolio, including Rythm premium flower, full-spectrum vapes and concentrates, Good Green flower, &Shine troches, and Doctor Solomon's topicals.

"It's an honour to expand medical cannabis access and serve patients throughout Lebanon county at Rise Dispensary Lebanon, where we will offer a highly curated selection of flower, vape, concentrates and other products from our award-winning brands Rythm, Good Green and Dr. Solomon's," said Anthony Georgiadis, president of Green Thumb Industries. "The Rise experience is centred on creating a welcoming environment for our neighbours. We look forward to joining this vibrant community, supporting their well-being and giving back to an incredible local non-profit, Making A Difference of Lebanon, PA."

As a part of Rise's tradition to give back to each community in which it serves, profits from Rise Dispensary Lebanon's grand-opening event will benefit Making A Difference of Lebanon, PA. Making a Difference of Lebanon, PA, is a non-profit organization that aims to build lasting relationships throughout the community by providing services to families, veterans and other individuals in need.

Rise Dispensary Lebanon will host its grand-opening celebration on Friday, Oct. 3, kicking off at 9 a.m. when doors open. The event will feature special patient deals and promotions that run throughout the weekend, along with refreshments available from a local food truck.

Green Thumb joined the Pennsylvania community in 2017 and currently operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Danville, where the company produces its branded products, including Rythm premium flower, full-spectrum vapes and concentrates, Good Green flower, &Shine troches, and Doctor Solomon's topicals.
