Green Thumb Opening 22nd RISE Medical Cannabis Dispensary in Florida, Their 104th Nationwide

RISE Dispensaries, a cannabis retail chain owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc., announced today that RISE Dispensary Ocala, the company’s 22nd retail location in Florida and 104th nationwide, will open on April 29.

Located at 3873 SW College Road, the dispensary will offer medical patients a diverse collection of cannabis products from brands including RYTHM, Dogwalkers, &Shine, Good Green and Doctor Solomon’s. As part of RISE and Green Thumb’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, RISE Dispensary Ocala will donate a portion of one day’s profits to community-based organization The Bridge 4 Veterans.

“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,” Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis said. “We are honored to create more job opportunities through the opening of RISE Dispensary Ocala while also bringing well-being to more Florida patients. 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 a RISE store opening donations, provides transitional housing for veterans as they work toward securing permanent housing. The organization offers resources free of charge and relies 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. In addition to RISE Dispensary Ocala, there are 21 other RISE dispensaries in Florida, including locations in Bonita Springs, Brandon, Clearwater, Crystal River, Deerfield Beach, Dunnellon, Fruitland Park, Hallandale Beach, Jacksonville, Kendall, New Port Richey, Orlando on Good Homes Road, Oviedo, Pinellas Park, Port Orange, Sun City Center, Tallahassee, Tampa, Wesley Chapel and West Palm Beach.
