Registered patients can now obtain new Kynd brand flower offerings at AYR Wellness dispensaries statewide
October 14, 2025 — AYR Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“AYR” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announces the opening of its first-ever indoor cultivation facility in Florida, marking a major milestone for the Company and its customers in the Sunshine State.
The new 97,580 sq. ft. facility features nearly 50,000 sq. ft. of grow canopy. The site will employ approximately 100 team members across cultivation, operations, and technical roles, with opportunities for both experienced professionals and those beginning their careers in the cannabis industry.
“We’re incredibly proud to open this state-of-the-art indoor cultivation facility in central Florida,” said George DeNardo, President of AYR Wellness. “This new facility, with our existing hybrid greenhouse site in Gainesville, allows AYR to offer patients the best of both worlds: premium, indoor-grown flower with top-shelf quality, and value-driven hybrid greenhouse flower. By listening to what patients want and expanding our suite of offerings, AYR is raising its standards for cannabis while ensuring AYR remains competitive in Florida’s evolving market.”
The facility debuts with a curated library of genetics that blends Kynd fan favorites with exciting new cultivars like Purple Alien, alongside the return of beloved strains such as Powdered Doughnuts and Tiger Bomb. Outfitted with advanced LED lighting and sustainable irrigation systems, the site is designed to deliver consistent harvests while conserving water and minimizing the use of fertilizers.
“Ocala marks the beginning of a new era for AYR in Florida,” said Julie Winter, Chief Revenue Officer. “This facility sets a new standard for cannabis quality, delivering consistency for our loyal patients, re-engaging those seeking top-tier options, and inviting new patients to experience the care and quality that define AYR.”
