("AWH," "Ascend" or the "Company") (CSE: AAWH-U.CN) (OTCQX: AAWH), a multistate, vertically integrated cannabis operator, announced the opening of its third medical dispensary in Pennsylvania, its 36th across its seven-state footprint.

"Following our previous successes in Pennsylvania, this Monaca location allows a new medical community to access Ascend's top-selling and affordable products. Medical patients in the larger Pittsburgh region will now have direct access to Ascend's innovative outlet dispensary model that offers patients premium marijuana products with everyday low pricing," said Rick Wilkins, Chief of Stores at Ascend. "We continue to be excited by the Pennsylvania medical marijuana market and were heartened by the recent comments from Governor Shapiro on his support of a legal, regulated, adult-use market. We look forward to the potential of also being able to service adult use customers in the future."
The dispensary will offer medical products and accept both cash and debit cards through provided cashless ATM terminals, and has nine point-of-sale terminals.
