Curaleaf Holdings Inc. CURA (OTCQX: CURLF) opened the second dispensary in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The new store, located at 5935 4th Street, is also the company’s 34th dispensary in the state, and 98th in the U.S.

Curaleaf St. Petersburg North brings a diversified portfolio of cannabis products, including America’s number 1 oil brand, Select, but also some novel products, like quick-acting Nano Chews and Nano Drops, and Sublingual Tablets, among others.
