Trulieve's Port Charlotte Location Brings Expanded Access to Patients in Southwest Florida

As Florida races towards 275,000 patients, Trulieve's latest storefront offers residents in Charlotte County direct access to relief

PORT CHARLOTTE, FL, Sept. 13, 2019 /CNW/ - Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL & OTCQX: TCNNF) ("Trulieve" or "the company"), continues to match the state registry's brisk growth pace as the doors of a new dispensary open on Friday, September 13th. As the company's 32nd physical storefront in Florida, the Port Charlotte dispensary will directly serve patients living in Charlotte County, continuing Trulieve's mission of expanding and ensuring patient access.

"Florida's market is growing at an unprecedented rate, with hundreds of patients joining the registry daily, seeking a natural, effective form of relief for their ailments," said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. "Our goal has always been to provide the medication they rely on in a safe, reliable way, and one of those ways is to provide direct access to patients. As a significant portion of our patients are in Southwest Florida, we're excited to open the doors of this Port Charlotte dispensary to not only provide access to patients in Charlotte County, but to bring relief to patients that may not have been able to make it to a physical storefront in the past."

Presently, Trulieve operates 31 other dispensaries throughout the State of Florida, including in nearby Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Bradenton. As part of the company's mission to provide direct access for patients statewide, Trulieve will continue opening stores statewide as the registry and patient demand grows.

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 unable to make it to a physical store, in addition to its 32 dispensaries in locations across the state from Pensacola to Miami.
