SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, July 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Spirit Industries Inc. (OTCQB:GSRX) (“Green Spirit” or the “Company”) announced today that it commenced construction on a new Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensary in Puerto Rico. Located in the Isla Verde district of Carolina, this is the location for which the Company has received pre-qualification for a dispensary license from the Department of Health of Puerto Rico. Following construction and inspection, operations will commence upon receipt of the requisite operating permit from the DHPR.
Currently, there are three Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensaries open in Puerto Rico: one in Dorado, one in Carolina and one in San Juan’s Hato Rey neighborhood. The Company has additional locations currently under construction in Fajardo, San Juan (Andalucia) and Bayamón.
“We are looking forward to opening another one of our Green Spirit RX dispensaries to serve patients in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico,” said Les Ball, CEO of Green Spirit. “Once completed and fully licensed, our new location in Isla Verde will join others in our rapidly-expanding network of retail locations throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S.”
Green Spirit’s newest Green Spirit RX dispensary is located at 1060 Av. Isla Verde, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00913. Isla Verde is the most popular beach vacation destination in the metro San Juan area, and attracts both leisure and business travelers. It is home to some of the island’s most luxurious beachfront hotels, and Isla Verde Beach was voted the Best Urban Beach 2016 by USA Travel readers. Isla Verde is located within minutes of San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, and boasts an active nightlife scene, with casinos, dance clubs and elegant lounges.
Like the Company’s other locations throughout Puerto Rico, this dispensary will offer patients an extensive selection of medicinal cannabis.
