[PRESS RELEASE] – CHICAGO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 3, 2026 – Green Thumb Industries Inc., a leading national cannabis company with a portfolio of best-in-class brands and owner of RISE Dispensaries, announced the opening of RISE Dispensary Mulberry, located at 6751 North Church Ave., Mulberry, FL 33860, on Nov. 4, giving Polk County patients a new place to shop close to home.
Marking RISE’s first location in Polk County, the new dispensary expands access to quality medical cannabis for patients in Mulberry, nearby Lakeland and surrounding communities while strengthening Green Thumb’s growing presence across Central Florida.
With the addition of Mulberry, RISE now operates 27 dispensaries across Florida and more than 120 nationwide. The new location joins RISE Dispensaries in Brandon, Tampa, Sun City and Orlando in serving Central Florida’s medical cannabis patients.
“Opening our first RISE Dispensary in Polk County is an exciting milestone as we continue to expand access to quality cannabis across Florida. From RYTHM’s premium flower, rosin and full-spectrum vapes to Dogwalkers pre-rolls, Doctor Solomon’s tinctures and topicals and Beboe edibles, the menu at RISE Dispensary Mulberry is built around a product set that resonates with Florida patients,” Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis said. “We’re proud to expand access to quality medical cannabis and to invest in our people and the organizations that make Mulberry special. Through our First Day Profits program, we look forward to continuing to invest in the local nonprofit, Shepherd’s Lighthouse.”
RISE Dispensary Mulberry will offer patients a diverse selection of best-in-class, Florida-grown products, including RYTHM premium flower, full-spectrum vapes and concentrates, Dogwalkers pre-rolls, Good Green flower, &Shine flower and edibles, RISE flower and pre-rolls, Phat Panda flower and pre-rolls, Beboe edibles, and Doctor Solomon’s tinctures, RSO and topicals. Many of these products are cultivated and produced from seed-to-sale at the Green Thumb Industries facility in Ocala, Fla. Patients can also have the same selection delivered to their homes for convenient, comfortable access.
Continuing RISE Dispensary’s tradition of giving back to each community it serves, profits from our Mulberry grand opening event will benefit Shepherd’s Lighthouse, building on the partnership established with the opening of RISE Dispensary Belleview. Shepherd’s Lighthouse provides transitional housing, life-skills development, employment resources and other essential services to help individuals and families build greater stability and independence. By directing a portion of opening profits to a local organization in each new store the company opens, RISE Dispensaries is investing directly into the communities its patients and team members call home.

RISE Dispensary Mulberry will mark the occasion with a grand opening event at 9 a.m. Dec. 4, featuring exclusive patient deals and promotions, giveaways, music, refreshments from a local food truck and more.
