IANTHUS CONTINUES EXPANSION IN FLORIDA WITH GROWHEALTHY DISPENSARY OPENING IN FORT MYERS

iAnthus Capital Holdings Inc. has expanded into Fort Myers with the opening of its 24th GrowHealthy dispensary in Florida.

The new location opens its doors today with an expanded lineup of premium product brands, including The Vault, Sunshine State and MPX, offering patients greater choice and quality, all under one roof.

"We're thrilled to introduce GrowHealthy to the Fort Myers community," said Richie Proud, chief executive officer at iAnthus. "Each new opening is an opportunity to bring our mission to life -- broadening access to safe, high-quality cannabis and deepening our connection to patients across the Sunshine State. This store was designed to feel distinctly local while still embodying the care, consistency and premium experience that GrowHealthy has become known for."

GrowHealthy continues to set itself apart through a focus on whole-plant wellness, premium genetics and community connection. Built on the foundation of cultivators and caregivers, the company leads with a flower-first philosophy, strong community ties and a deep respect for the cannabis plant. The Fort Myers dispensary offers an extensive menu of products -- including flower, vapes, concentrates and other formats -- crafted to meet the local community's diverse wellness needs.

"This Fort Myers opening gives us another opportunity to do what we do best -- meet patients where they are and make the process as welcoming as possible," said Kelly Heinichen, vice-president of retail operations at iAnthus. "Our team takes pride in offering not only exceptional products, but an experience built on compassion, education and genuine connection. Each relationship is built around trust, and we want every visit to feel personal to our patients."

The Fort Myers launch underscores iAnthus's continuing commitment to expanding patient access and redefining the cannabis retail experience across Florida. Each GrowHealthy location reflects the company's vision for a thoughtful design, elevated service and unwavering product quality.
