Curaleaf Will Rebrand Nine Chicago-Area Dispensaries

Nearly eight months after Curaleaf, a publicly traded Massachusetts company, closed its $830 million acquisition of Chicago-based Grassroots in July, state regulators have issued final approval of the deal, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Curaleaf will take control of nine Greenhouse and Windy City Cannabis dispensaries April 1, with all transitioning to the Curaleaf brand, a company spokeswoman told the Tribune.

The Greenhouse dispensaries moving under the Curaleaf banner are in Northbrook, Skokie, Mokena, Morris, Deerfield and Melrose Park. Windy City Cannabis locations taking the Curaleaf name are in Justice, Worth and Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Curaleaf is planning to open its 10th and final Illinois dispensary in Westmont, pending state approval, the spokeswoman said.

Windy City Cannabis will continue to own and operate locations in Homewood, Posen and Litchfield, with dispensaries in Highwood, Carpentersville and Macomb set to open this year.
