The Tempe, Arizona-based company no longer holds any operations in Utah, following the sale of its assets to a local operator for “an immaterial amount of cash.”

"We are pleased to have completed this divestiture as part of our strategic plan," Harvest CEO Steve White said. "We will continue to allocate resources to growth opportunities in our core markets."  

New Miami Dispensary 

Harvest’s eleventh medical cannabis dispensary in Florida, located at 1011 5th St, South Miami Beach, is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm and Sunday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Harvest's other Florida dispensaries are based in Gainesville, Jacksonville, Kissimmee, Lehigh Acres, Longwood, North Miami Beach, North Port, Olympia Heights, Tallahassee and West Palm Beach.

Once the deal is closed, Harvest shareholders will own roughly 26.7% of Trulieve's issued and outstanding pro forma shares (on a fully diluted basis).

The merger will result in a company with activities in 11 states, a total growing and processing capacity of 3.1 million sq. ft. across 22 facilities and 126 retails stores. The companies are getting closer to closing the deal
