Curaleaf Holdings, Inc., a leading international provider of consumer cannabis products, has announced the expansion of its retail footprint with the opening of two new dispensaries: Curaleaf Apopka in Florida and Curaleaf Girard in Ohio. This strategic move on September 15, 2025, brings Curaleaf’s total national retail locations to 157, reinforcing its position in key U.S. markets.
Deepening Roots in Florida
The new Curaleaf Apopka dispensary, located at 1809 E. Semoran Blvd., Apopka, FL 32703, marks a significant addition to the company’s extensive network in Florida, now totaling 69 locations across the state. Curaleaf has established a substantial presence in Florida, which remains its largest retail market. The Apopka location is set to serve medical patients with a diverse array of high-quality cannabis products. Offerings include popular items from the Select brand, such as vapes and edibles, alongside Reef flower, Grassroots Dark Heart Collection flower, Anthem pre-rolls, and Miss Grass pre-rolls. To enhance customer confidence, select items at the Apopka store come with a 72-hour satisfaction guarantee.
The grand opening celebration for Curaleaf Apopka is scheduled for Friday, September 19, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET, promising a festive event with promotions, giveaways, and interactive experiences for attendees.
Strategic Growth in Ohio
Simultaneously, Curaleaf opened its doors in Girard, Ohio, at 801 N State St, Girard, OH 44420. This expansion brings Curaleaf’s total retail count in Ohio to five dispensaries. Ohio represents a dynamic and growing market for cannabis, especially following the legalization of adult-use sales which commenced on August 6, 2024. Curaleaf, as a Level 1 operator, benefits from priority access to this expanding adult-use segment. The Girard dispensary will offer a curated selection of products, including Select BRIQ vapes, Grassroots flower and pre-rolls, JAMS and Select XBites edibles, and Find flower, with pre-rolls being a new introduction for the location.
Curaleaf Girard will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony in conjunction with the Girard Chamber of Commerce at a later date, featuring exclusive promotions and refreshments for the community. The dispensary operates Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET, and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET.
A Portfolio of Trusted Brands and Innovations
These new openings underscore Curaleaf’s commitment to expanding access to its comprehensive portfolio of cannabis products and trusted brands. The company continues to leverage its strong brand recognition, including Select, Reef, Grassroots, JAMS, XBites, Find, Anthem, and Miss Grass, to cater to the evolving needs of both medical and adult-use consumers. Curaleaf has a history of introducing new cannabis products and innovations, such as the Select Liquid Diamonds and Select BRIQ lines, demonstrating its dedication to product development and quality. The strategic placement of these new dispensaries aims to enhance customer convenience and provide a reliable source for high-quality cannabis offerings.
Vision for Enhanced Access and Market Leadership
Boris Jordan, Curaleaf Chairman and CEO, emphasized the mission behind these expansions: “Each new store opening reflects our mission to expand safe, convenient access to high-quality cannabis across the country.” He highlighted the significance of the Apopka opening for deepening roots in Florida and serving new regions, while the Girard location expands their reach in Ohio. Matt Darin, CEO of Curaleaf, expressed enthusiasm for serving new communities in Ohio, recognizing the state’s potential as a major cannabis market.
Curaleaf’s ongoing retail expansion is a core component of its strategy to capture market share in established and emerging cannabis markets. By opening dispensaries in key locations like Apopka and Girard, Curaleaf not only strengthens its national presence but also reinforces its commitment to providing accessible, high-quality cannabis products and brands to a growing consumer base across the United States.
