With accelerated retail growth on the horizon, licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center, GrowHealthy, debuted a brand-new dispensary in Deerfield Beach, Florida, with the official grand opening on Wednesday, November 27. Along with Deerfield Beach, the Florida based brand looks forward to two new additional storefronts this calendar year, preparing for openings in Ocala and Stuart. The Deerfield Beach location marks GrowHealthy’s 10th retail store, with more than 17 retail locations slated for opening by end of Q1 2020.

GrowHealthy also looks towards the multi-pronged launch of premium cannabis product lines and intake methods prior to end of year.
 
Broward County is a major population center in Florida with a population of just under 2 million and over 17,000 registered patients. In addition to Deerfield Beach, this freestanding location will provide close access to medical marijuana for the communities of Boca Raton and Pompano Beach, which currently have a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. In addition to the retail dispensary, the 5,580 square foot location will serve as GrowHealthy’s delivery and distribution hub for all of South Florida.  
 
"As GrowHealthy continues to accelerate expansion, we’re prepared to provide an increase in product availability to support retail openings through the state of Florida. Our goal is to increase production and our range of inventory in order to provide patients with access to premium-quality cannabis at affordable price points," shares Michael Medor, Vice-President and GM of GrowHealthy. “We’re excited to enter this new Florida market and to connect with patients in Broward County and the surrounding communities who may not have access to the medicine that they need to live their best lives.”
 
Meeting the State’s strictest quality protocols in all aspects of cannabis cultivation and oil extraction processes, GrowHealthy’s products are meticulously produced in a secure, state-of-the-art, GMP Certified, indoor nursery in rural Central Florida. At this location, GrowHealthy’s master grower and team of horticulture experts manage innovative growing operations, with a hybrid nursery featuring optimized lighting, automated nutrient systems, and temperature and humidity control. This technology creates an indoor cleanroom environment unlike traditional open fields and greenhouses, allowing for growers to ensure consistent production of premium medical cannabis throughout the year.
