Chicago and Vancouver, B.C. — RISE Dispensaries, a rapidly growing cannabis retail chain owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc., has opened its landmark 100th retail location, with RISE Dispensary Carson City on Nov. 23, located in Carson City, Nev. In addition, the company opened its 101st retail location with RISE Dispensary Brooklyn Park on Nov. 23 in Brooklyn Park, Minn. The two locations represent the 11th and 8th dispensaries to open in Nevada and Minnesota, respectively.
“It is a historic day at Green Thumb as we open our 100th and 101st RISE Dispensaries,” says Ben Kovler, Green Thumb’s founder, chairman and chief executive officer. “The first RISE branded dispensary opened in Carson City in 2016, so being back here to open our 100th store is an extremely special moment. We are incredibly grateful to the team who made this milestone a reality and the communities who have welcomed us since our first store opened in Mundelein, Ill.”
Green Thumb became a part of the Nevada cannabis community in 2016 when the first ever RISE branded dispensary opened its doors in Carson City. Today, Green Thumb operates one production facility in Carson City and two in Las Vegas, where it grows and manufactures its branded products. Green Thumb became a part of the Minnesota cannabis community in 2021 and currently operates a production facility in Cottage Grove.
