(CNSX: VREO,OTCQX: VREOF), today announced the official opening of a new medical cannabis patient center in Duluth/Hermantown.

A Minnesota-based company founded in 2014 by Minneapolis emergency physician Dr. Kyle Kingsley, Vireo is committed to helping Minnesotans who qualify for medical cannabis to better understand and gain access to safe, effective cannabis-based products.
As a board-certified physician and lifelong Minnesotan, it is an honor to open the first medical cannabis patient center in the Duluth area.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kyle Kingsley
As the fourth-largest city in Minnesota, Duluth is severely underserved for medical cannabis patients, who currently have to drive hours to access this life-changing medicine. Green Goods will work to serve and educate both patients and the local communities on the positive impact of medical cannabis.
Green Goods locations are designed to create an inviting atmosphere that provides personalized service and wellness programs for patients. The locations will also be used for community engagement events, charitable giving programs, and educational outreach efforts. The Company’s existing cannabis patient centers in Minneapolis, Bloomington, Rochester, and Moorhead were recently renovated to create a relaxing and engaging environment that helps streamline the process of purchasing medical cannabis products in order to help serve more patients in a timely fashion.
Vireo Health of Minnesota expects to open three more Green Goods locations in Minnesota this year, the new cannabis patient centers will be in Blaine, Burnsville, and Woodbury.
