The dispensary marks the tenth location in California for which Harvest has rights.

“California is the largest cannabis market in the world, and with the acquisition of 805 Beach Breaks, we’re thrilled to be expanding our presence and industry-leading operational and vertical integration standards across the state,” said Harvest’s Executive Chairman Jason Vedadi. “This location and other planned locations will continue to bring our expertise and top-notch cannabis offerings to further develop premiere retail environments across the state, where consumers and patients have access to high-quality trusted cannabis experiences.”

Harvest plans to open a new location in Venice pending regulatory approval and continues to finalize the previously announced acquisition of Falcon International Corp.—the state’s leading operator in logistics serving more than 80 percent of dispensaries in the state.

Harvest has determined that the amount of cash and stock to be issued in connection with its acquisition of 805 Beach Breaks is not material.
