Bountiful Farms, a Lakeville-based cannabis wholesaler, will soon open one of its first-ever recreational retail locations, with one set to debut in Framingham.
The new dispensary will be located at 315 Worcester Road and will host its grand opening later in September, according to a Thursday press release from the wholesaler.
“Since day one, we’ve been focused on producing exceptional cannabis and building strong relationships in the cannabis community,” Bountiful CEO Jeff Barton said in the release. “Now, we’re excited to take the next step and bring our products directly to recreational consumers through a branded retail experience that reflects everything we stand for.”
Bountiful Farms’ new Framingham location was previously occupied by an UpTop cannabis dispensary shop. The company is not sharing the financial details of the purchase at this time, Michelle Diamandis, Bountiful Farms’ communication liaison, said in an email to WBJ.
While the new shop is the first recreational Bountiful Farms dispensary in the region, the company operates a medical dispensary in Natick. The wholesaler operates its cultivation and live rosin facility in Lakeville.
In tandem with its new Framingham site, Bountiful Farms is opening a recreational retail location at 300 Newburyport Turnpike in Rowley, set to open its doors on Sept. 18. The wholesaler purchased the location that was previously occupied by a Cape Ann Cannabis Dispensary.
Both locations will offer flower, edibles, and concentrations in addition to products from neighboring Massachusetts cannabis brands.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our products to even more cannabis lovers, and I’m looking forward to welcoming customers into spaces that really reflects our dedication to quality and craft,” Zachary Taylor, Bountiful Farms chief cultivation officer, said in the release. “These new stores will allow us to connect more directly with the people who appreciate the work that goes into every jar.”
In 2022, Bountiful Farms took home first place in the flower category at the Massachusetts Cultivators Cup.
