VERANO CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF MUV DAYTONA BEACH ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH, EXPANDING THE COMPANY'S RETAIL FOOTPRINT TO 88 FLORIDA DISPENSARIES AND 165 NATIONWIDE

Verano Holdings Corp. will hold the grand opening of MUV Daytona Beach on Friday, Nov. 13, raising the company's Florida retail footprint to 88 MUV locations and 165 dispensaries nationwide. Located near the iconic Daytona International Speedway and just steps from the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of Daytona Beach's legendary tourist area, MUV Daytona Beach will be open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

On Friday, Nov. 13, MUV Daytona Beach will kick off the dispensary's grand opening weekend with a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. local time. To welcome the local medical cannabis community, patients can expect doorbuster deals up to 60 per cent off storewide on a variety of Florida's favourite cannabis brands and products, swag bags, and exclusive MUV t-shirts while supplies last. In support of the local community, prior to the dispensary's grand opening, the MUV Daytona Beach team conducted a volunteer effort cleaning up area beaches, where they collected nearly 40 pounds of trash.

"We are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of MUV Daytona Beach, marking the second MUV dispensary we've opened in two weeks and our sixth location in beautiful Volusia county," said George Archos, Verano founder and chief executive officer. "I'm proud of our team for their volunteer beach cleaning efforts, and look forward to offering patients our extensive portfolio of award-winning products, hospitality and care in the iconic Daytona Beach community that welcomes 10 million annual tourists."

Verano has continued to introduce an array of new products and formats to its growing Florida portfolio, including this weekend's launch of Swift Lifts, a robust lineup of premium preroll offerings that are perfectly portioned and designed to deliver quality and convenience; and the revolutionary Hyphen all-in-one vape pod system featuring a modular battery design that offers patients the freedom and flexibility to use a variety of oils, sizes and formats without the hassle of juggling between different devices.

MUV dispensaries feature on-line menus for effortless browsing of their extensive, award-winning product selection, including the company's signature Verano Reserve, MUV and Sweet Supply flower; Encore and MUV edibles; On the Rocks concentrates and extracts; (the) Essence, Savvy and MUV flower, prerolls and extracts; the Hyphen vape pod system, and more. In Florida, the company also offers one-on-one virtual and in-store consultations at no cost to patients, and provides patient-centric concierge services via phone, e-mail, web chat and text to address patient inquiries.

For additional convenience and accessibility, patients can visit the MUVFL website or the MUV mobile application -- available in the Apple App store -- for additional information and to place orders for express in-store pickup.
