PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BEYOND / HELLO™, a premier retail chain owned by Jushi Holdings Inc. ("Jushi" or the "Company")(NEO: JUSH.B), a leading company focused on bringing only the best, personalized marijuana treatments and products to customers, today announced BEYOND / HELLO has opened two additional retail locations. Located at 1137 Moosic Street in Scranton and 416 Main Street in Johnstown, PA, both dispensaries opened after receiving approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

"As we strategically expand our footprint across the Commonwealth, our goal is to bring more patients access to state-approved medicinal treatments that work for them," said BEYOND / HELLO President Blythe Huestis. "With the opening of our Scranton and Johnstown locations, we are providing patients and caregivers increased access to some of the best medicinal treatments and professional expertise available.

BEYOND / HELLO Scranton and BEYOND / HELLO Johnstown will carry a wide array of medical marijuana products, including dry leaf, oils and oil cartridges, concentrates, pills, capsules, tinctures, topicals and various ancillary products. A licensed pharmacist, along with seasoned, trained staff, will be on-site to dispense products, answer questions and provide service to patients and caregivers. As the Commonwealth expands its program, BEYOND / HELLO will continue to make state-approved products available to patients.

"With the latest openings, and more retail locations expected to launch later this year, BEYOND / HELLO has become a vital part of these Pennsylvania communities and an important brand for our expanding portfolio," said Jushi CEO and Chairman, Jim Cacioppo. "We are proud to provide the communities of Scranton and Johnstown access to superior cannabis products." 

The new BEYOND / HELLO locations added this summer, along with more stores expected to open by the end of the year, will bring an estimated 300 new jobs across the Commonwealth by the end of 2019.  BEYOND / HELLO targets hiring personnel within local communities and has a strong track record of promoting employees from within the company.
