Trulieve Opens in Englewood, Continues Expansion Across Florida

Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) is a leading and top-performing cannabis company based in the United States. The company announces the opening of its latest storefront. Englewood will be home to the Company’s 56th dispensary nationwide and 54th in its home state of Florida.

Trulieve is a vertically integrated “seed-to-sale” company and is the first and largest fully licensed medical cannabis company in the State of Florida. Trulieve cultivates and produces all of its products in-house and distributes those products to Trulieve-branded stores (dispensaries) throughout the State of Florida, as well as directly to patients via home delivery. Trulieve also operates in California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Trulieve is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol TRUL and trades on the OTCQX market under the symbol TCNNF.

Situated in Englewood, which stretches into both Sarasota and Charlotte counties, the dispensary supports Trulieve’s goal of expanding and ensuring direct, reliable patient access to medical cannabis throughout the state. It also joins the Company’s 53 other Florida dispensaries, including those in nearby Port Charlotte, Venice, and North Fort Myers.

“While this year has definitely seen its challenges, we’ve worked hard to maintain our company’s mission of providing innovative cannabis products and an authentic, high-quality customer experience, with our dedicated Trulievers supporting us every step of the way. Expanding our reach and providing safe, reliable access to the high-quality medications patients rely on is one of the best ways we can connect with patients directly, and we’re grateful to have the opportunity to offer direct access to patients in both Sarasota and Charlotte counties,” said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. “As with all of our openings recently, we’ve taken precautions and measured steps to best ensure the health and safety of our staff and patients. We’re excited for the opportunity to serve the Englewood community, and look forward to doing so for years to come.”

To commemorate the brand-new dispensary, all patients — from those new to Trulieve to our strong Truliever community — will be eligible for a 25% in-store discount at the Englewood location on opening day. In line with policies that have been adopted statewide, all visitors will be required to wear masks inside the dispensary. At this time, only patients and their state-approved caregivers will be allowed inside the waiting room and dispensary.

To assist patients with ordering, Trulieve has made our entire catalog of products available for online ordering, with in-store pickup, curbside pickup (at select locations), or statewide home delivery options available. Furthermore, to assist with CDC recommendations for social distancing and in compliance with additional company-enforced safety guidelines, several measures have been taken to ensure the health and well-being of employees and patients, including modifying the store layout, installation of plexiglass partitions and HEPA air filtration scrubbers in the dispensaries, increasing access to masks and sanitizer throughout the store for staff and visitors, utilizing visual aids to direct traffic throughout the store, and increasing the frequency of deep cleanings for all dispensaries. Trulieve is closely monitoring the coronavirus situation and will update store policies as needed to ensure the safety of patients and staff; all updates will be shared directly on Trulieve’s website as they are enacted.

As the state’s leading medical cannabis provider, Trulieve’s employees are experienced, knowledgeable, and eager to help patients. Trulieve encourages potential patients, as well as patients who are new to cannabis and to our wide array of products, to connect with the staff in-store or through the online chat feature to learn more.

In stores and online, patients will find Florida’s largest selection of THC and CBD products, available in a variety of delivery methods, including smokable cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, topical creams, vaporizers, and more. Trulieve also offers home delivery statewide for patients, and convenient in-store pick-up at its 54 dispensaries in locations across the state from Pensacola to Key West.

The Office of Medical Marijuana Use recently announced the registry was quickly approaching 385,000 registered medical marijuana patients with an active ID card, with Trulieve consistently selling approximately half of the state’s overall volume, per the Florida Department of Health. There are more than 2,500 registered ordering physicians in the State of Florida as well.
