MIAMI, June 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ayr Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“Ayr” or the “Company”), a major vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, announced that the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (“CCC” or the “Commission ”) granted a definitive license for the sale of cannabis for adult use to its AYR Watertown dispensary in Greater Boston. The CCC voted to grant the final license at its June 9, 2022 meeting.
“With our approval today to open our Watertown dispensary, Ayr will soon have two adult dispensaries serving Greater Boston, which has historically been underserved when it comes to adult cannabis access,” said Jonathan Sandelman, Founder, President and CEO of Ayr. “The upcoming openings of our Watertown and Back Bay locations represent a huge step forward for our business, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce these communities to the unique, high-quality product offerings of ‘Ayr, with a customer experience that delivers the wonder of cannabis.
“Ayr looks forward to establishing himself as a force for good within Watertown, as we have done in Greater Boston over the past few years. Our team is committed to using our platform to implement positive change, and we look forward to further demonstrating this promise.”
Sira Naturals d/b/a AYR signed a Host Community Agreement (“HCA”) with the City of Watertown in October 2020. The company performed two additional HCAs in the Greater Boston Area in October and November 2020, respectively – one in Somerville, where the company operates a medical dispensary, and the other in Back Bay, where Ayr plans to open later this month. Ayr will continue to work closely with the CCC to progress toward final approval to begin adult use operations at all three sites.
