MIAMI, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRESS RELEASE -- Ayr Wellness Inc., a vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announces the opening of its relocated Dania Beach store, offering an elevated patient experience.

The new store, located at 222 N Federal Hwy, Ste. 103, Dania Beach, FL 33004, is just over a mile away from the former location and moments away from the Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport and the major intersection of US-1 and A1A.

“We’re happy to reopen in Dania Beach, a community where we’ve received strong support from the local patient population, with our newly relocated dispensary. Patients who visited our former location will find an upgraded retail experience and an array of newly introduced products and brands, complementing the offerings they’ve come to love. The new location is indicative of the improvements we continue to make in our Florida operation, which includes our 50 retail locations and our suite of branded products,” said Jonathan Sandelman, founder and CEO of Ayr.
