SKOKIE, Ill., Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PRESS RELEASE -- Greenhouse Group will open a 15,000-square-foot dispensary located at 10000 Skokie Boulevard, Skokie, IL 60077 on Sept. 3, 2020. A ribbon cutting ceremony in partnership with the Skokie Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
"We are excited to open our first adult-use dispensary in Skokie, offering our unparalleled expertise in providing customers safe and effective cannabis products. As our largest dispensary to date, this flagship location further expands our presence in Illinois," says Mitch Kahn, CEO.
Located on a main thoroughfare across from Old Orchard Mall, Greenhouse has a home-grown, welcoming vibe that promotes inclusivity, inviting customers to experience the space as their new home for adult-use cannabis in Illinois.
Designed by architects Peter Theodore and Stephen Coorlas, and built by Chicago based Pacific Construction, the architecturally focused exterior boasts a curtain-like facade with expansive windows, bringing natural light and warmth into the space. The two-level interior, designed by Epoch Design Group, was deliberately configured to offer a premium, curated customer experience, with a large focus on educational displays throughout the space. The second floor, accessible via a lift as well as a spectacular curved staircase, will be dedicated to in-depth consultations with trained product specialists as well as online pre-order pick up.
"At Greenhouse, we are committed to educating our customers on the benefits of cannabis, providing high-quality and innovative products and creating an in-dispensary experience that is inclusive and welcoming to people from all walks of life," says Matt Darin, COO.
The recently announced Blues Brothers x Grassroots product line, developed in collaboration with Chicago's very own Jim Belushi and Belushi's Farm, will be available at Greenhouse in Skokie. This home-grown collaboration, which was developed at cultivation facilities owned by leading cannabis company Curaleaf, celebrates the 40th anniversary of the iconic Blues Brothers franchise. Like Greenhouse, Blues Brothers is celebrated for its soul and deep connection to the greater city of Chicago. Product is currently available for pre-order, while supplies last, for those who register at https://www.greenhouseil.com/skokie/. Pricing is $22 for 1g and $65 for an eighth.
Greenhouse Skokie will have 12 point-of-sale stations with social distancing parameters put in place. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Available products will include flower, vapes, extracts/oils, topicals, concentrates and edibles.
Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. closed on its acquisition of Grassroots on July 23. In connection with that acquisition, Greenhouse Skokie will come under the Curaleaf umbrella and branding pending final regulatory approval.
