“We are thrilled to open our first RISE Dispensary in Ocala, where our cultivation / production facility has already brought close to 100 jobs to the community. We are honored to create more job opportunities through the opening of RISE Dispensary Ocala while also bringing well-being to more Florida patients,” said Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis. “Giving back to the communities we serve is core to our mission, and we are proud to support The Bridge 4 Veterans with the opening of RISE Dispensary Ocala.”
The Bridge 4 Veterans, a previous recipient of RISE new store opening donations, provides transitional housing for veterans as they work toward securing permanent housing. The organization offers resources free-of-charge and runs on private donations for support.
Green Thumb joined the Florida community in 2018 and operates two production facilities in Ocala and Homestead, where the Company cultivates and produces its branded products. Green Thumb’s cultivation and manufacturing practices reflect the highest quality standards to ensure all its products offer a true-to-plant, consistent experience. The Company’s retail brand, RISE Dispensaries, is committed to expanding access to well-being through cannabis and making a positive impact on the communities it serves.
