GREEN THUMB EXPANDS PENNSYLVANIA RETAIL FOOTPRINT WITH THE OPENING OF RISE DISPENSARY HANOVER

RISE Dispensaries, an industry leading cannabis retail chain owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc., has opened RISE Dispensary Hanover in Hanover, Pa. The new RISE store is located at 361 Eisenhower Dr., Hanover, Pa., 17331.

• RISE Dispensaries will serve patients of south-central Pennsylvania with the opening of RISE Dispensary Hanover, located at 361 Eisenhower Dr., Hanover, Pa., 17331.
• RISE Dispensary Hanover will host their grand opening celebration for its patients and the community in late August, with the date to be announced soon.
• Continuing with RISE's new store opening tradition, profits from the RISE Dispensary Hanover grand opening will benefit local non-profit Friends & Neighbors of Pennsylvania.

RISE Dispensary Hanover brings Pennsylvania patients best-in-class products and convenient services, such as on-line preorder for pick up. RISE Dispensary Hanover 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, (inc)ensored troches, and Doctor Solomon's topicals.

"Pennsylvania is a priority market for us, and we are thrilled to bring the RISE experience to the Hanover community," said Anthony Georgiadis, president of Green Thumb Industries. "We look forward to serving patients throughout York and Adams counties with our award-winning products, including RYTHM and Good Green, and are proud to support Friends & Neighbors through our First Day Profit program."

As a part of RISE's tradition to give back to each community in which it serves, profits from RISE Dispensary Hanover's grand opening event will benefit Friends & Neighbors of Pennsylvania. Friends & Neighbors is York county's only comprehensive street outreach organization, building lasting relationships with people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

"We're honoured to have RISE Dispensary Hanover walk alongside us, whose grand opening support helps fund the street outreach and day centre work that guides our unhoused neighbours in Hanover and across York county toward stable housing," said Crystal Perry, executive director of Friends & Neighbors of Pennsylvania. "Every day our outreach team meets people where they are and welcomes them into our downtown resource centre. Receiving support from RISE and other partners keeps that continuum of care going for our community."

RISE Dispensary Hanover will host its grand opening event in late August. The event will feature special patient deals and promotions that run throughout the weekend, including doorbuster deals on products, giveaways and 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. In addition to RISE Dispensary Hanover other RISE Dispensaries in Pennsylvania include locations in Carlisle, Chambersburg, Cranberry, Duncansville, Erie on Lake, Erie on Peach, Grove City, Hermitage, King of Prussia, Latrobe, Lebanon, Meadville, Mechanicsburg, Monroeville, New Castle, Philadelphia, Steelton, Warminster and York.
