/PRNewswire/ — Arizona Natural Remedies, Inc. (“ANR” or “the Company”), an affiliate of Vireo Health International, Inc. (CNSX: VREO, OTCQX: VREOF), today announced that the Company has completed a major expansion of its cultivation and processing facility south of

Tucson, AZ.

The expansion features a nine-acre shade house that the Company expects to increase ANR’s output capacity of cannabis flower by at least fivefold.

The Company broke ground on the planned expansion last summer, before residents in

Arizona

voted to legalize adult-use cannabis. With adult-use cannabis now legal in the state and a significantly expanded cultivation site, ANR is well positioned to produce significantly more cannabis flower to meet growing adult-use consumer demand at both its dispensary located at 22041 North 23

^rd

Avenue in

Phoenix

and through wholesale channels.

“Our expansion in

Arizona

represents another strategic investment to drive growth in one of our core markets,” said Founder and CEO Dr.

Kyle Kingsley

. “With the rapid legalization of adult-use cannabis, the state is facing a potential shortage of cannabis flower. Our expanded facilities and additional growing acreage will create a real opportunity for Vireo Health in

Arizona

. We expect the expansion to drive significant growth in our wholesale business and increased sales at our now adult-use eligible dispensary in Phoenix.  We are also currently planning an incremental 9-acre shade house in addition to the current facility.”

The Company expects that the expanded facility will create up to 45 new jobs this year. The nine-acre expansion makes the

Arizona

facility the largest cultivation site in Vireo Health’s five core markets.

ANR also recently announced that it has also offering the option of medical cannabis home delivery to its customers in the

Phoenix

area. The Company’s full line of cannabis products will be available for delivery to medical cannabis patients in Phoenix. For more information about ANR or to learn about local delivery options, please visit:
