A year ago, Keystone Canna Remedies became the first place to dispense medical marijuana in the Lehigh Valley. Now, it’s expanding operations.

On Monday, a real estate agent announced that Keystone has closed a $1.03 million sale for a second location in South Whitehall Township. That will make it the fifth medical marijuana dispensary in the Lehigh Valley.

The new location will be in a 7,000-square-foot medical office building at 3340 Hamilton Blvd. (Route 222), near Dorney Park and less than a mile from Interstate 78. County records value the property at about $1 million.

Sale of the property was announced by Allentown-based Feinberg Real Estate Advisors, which represented the buyer, PA Store 299 LLC. Office space on the second floor of the building will be leased out, the real estate agent said.

An opening date was not announced.

Keystone Canna Remedies' first site is on Stefko Boulevard in Bethlehem. It was Pennsylvania’s first medical marijuana dispensary approved for operation, and last February became one of the earliest to begin sales.

More have opened since then. There is Columbia Care at 3025 W. Tilghman St. in South Whitehall Township and Mission Pennsylvania II at 2733 W. Emmaus Ave. in Allentown.

Pennsylvania Dispensary Solutions plans to open a location in Saucon Valley Square, 3731 Route 378 in Lower Saucon Township, by midyear.

And in New Jersey, a Phillipsburg dispensary is in the planning stages.
