It operates on a quick go-to-market strategy and brings about outreach campaigns about the cannabis industry to new markets they launch in. “This capital raise demonstrates our commitment to growing our national footprint and establishing dominant brand presence in key markets across the country,” Cresco CEO Charlie Bachtell stated concerning this round.
“The financial commitments we secured for this round represent both how appealing the cannabis industry has become to investors and how impressed they are with the direction Cresco is headed,” He added.
Cresco currently operates in 6 states which gives it access to a large consumer footprint in the cannabis industry.
