“This is another milestone for Parallel, as we are now serving the rapidly growing needs of medical cannabis patients in the Commonwealth,” said William “Beau” Wrigley, Jr., chief executive officer and chairman of Parallel. “We believe Pennsylvania is an exciting, high-growth cannabis market and we look forward to providing well-being through cannabinoids to patients across Pennsylvania in the years to come.”
Pennsylvania, with almost 13 million residents, is the sixth most populous state in the U.S. The Commonwealth’s Medical Marijuana Program today has approximately 500,000 registered patients and caregivers.
“I couldn’t be more excited for our team to begin serving qualifying patients within goodblend’s approachable retail environment. Our dispensaries are designed to make patients feel comfortable, with expert retail guides ready to answer any questions and help them find the right cannabis products to fit their specific needs,” said Elizabeth (Liz) Conway, regional president of Parallel and goodblend Pennsylvania. “For the past few months, we’ve been conducting local job recruitment in addition to having held preparatory informational sessions on expungement in partnership with the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA) to support social equity and economic empowerment in our communities. Now, we welcome community medical patients into our stores.”
The Pittsburgh dispensary is located at 5502 Baum Boulevard in Pittsburgh, Pa. Regular operating hours will be Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
