Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF), a leading and top-performing cannabis company based in the United States, announced today the opening of a brand-new Florida dispensary, the Company's 65th nationwide. The new Bradenton dispensary will be the second Bradenton location to bring the Company's wide-ranging catalog of medical cannabis products directly to patients across Manatee County.
Located on Manatee Avenue West, the new dispensary supports Trulieve's goal of expanding and ensuring direct, reliable patient access to medical cannabis across its home state of Florida. It joins the Company's 62 other dispensaries statewide, including the original 14th Street Bradenton location, as well as those in nearby St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and several more throughout the Tampa Bay area.
"The Bradenton community in particular has been incredibly supportive of us since we opened our first location here in 2017. We look forward to being a part of this community for years to come," said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. "From our first store in Florida, our focus has remained on expanding access to the safe and reliable medications patients ask for, and we continue that today with our 63rd store in the state."
In honor of the Company's brand new dispensary, all patients — from those new to Trulieve to the dedicated Truliever community — will be eligible for a 25% in-store discount at the new Bradenton Manatee dispensary on opening day. In line with policies that have been adopted statewide, all visitors will be required to wear masks inside the dispensary. Additionally, only patients and their state-approved caregivers will be allowed inside the waiting room and dispensary at this time.

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 our wide array of products, to connect with the staff in-store or through the online chat feature to learn more.
