CHICAGO, April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Grassroots Cannabis won all four dispensary licenses granted in North Dakota's latest round, continuing to prove the company's core competency of securing licenses in the competitive cannabis landscape. Grassroots—a company that grows, processes and sells cannabis through its unique, vertically integrated business model—now holds four of the state's eight dispensaries licenses, in addition to one of only two grow licenses.

"We are thrilled to continue to expand our presence in North Dakota, sharing our unparalleled expertise to further provide consumers access to safe and effective cannabis products," said Grassroots Cannabis CEO and Co-Founder Mitch Kahn. "Our recent success in North Dakota is a testament to our team's collective strategic vision and execution of building an integrated business model that enhances the communities which we serve."

The new dispensaries in North Dakota will follow the company's Herbology concept, and will begin opening in late summer/early fall 2019. Herbology offers a unique approach to the dispensary experience that includes wellness events, support groups and education seminars.

Driven by a shared belief that cannabis enhances life for people from all backgrounds, Grassroots is committed to growing from the ground up, working locally to create jobs and opportunity while serving, advancing and respecting the cannabis movement.
