Jushi Holdings Inc has announced that it is expanding its retail footprint in California with the opening of its 32nd retail location nationally and third dispensary in the Golden State.
The BEYOND / HELLO Grover Beach store, the fourth and final retail dispensary permitted in the city of Grover Beach, will officially open and start serving consumers and medical marijuana patients on May 13, 2022, the vertically integrated cannabis company said.
“With an annual tourist population of approximately 2.2 million and many of the surrounding municipalities prohibiting retail cannabis dispensaries from operating, Grover Beach presents a key market opportunity for Jushi," said Jushi founder, chairman and CEO Jim Cacioppo in a statement.

Along with providing an unparalleled customer-centric retail experience, Jushi said the store features options for online ordering through beyond-hello.com as well as nine point-of-sale systems, including two express checkouts and 27 on-site parking spots.
"We are excited to expand access to this thriving beach town and region and look forward to strategically expanding our footprint in California with the opening of an additional retail location in Culver City,” Cacioppo added.
BEYOND / HELLO Grover Beach will carry top cannabis brands and products, including flower, concentrates, vaporization products, tinctures, edibles, topicals, capsules, pills and various ancillary products such as approved rigs, batteries, merchandise and other devices.
The company said the store’s location at 923 Huber Street provides Californians with an efficient, accessible and safe experience that goes beyond the traditional cannabis retail environment.
“As part of the company’s commitment to exceeding customer expectations, experienced well-trained staff will also be on-site to help dispense products, answer questions and provide exceptional service,” Jushi said, adding that the store is handicap accessible, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and offers a 10% discount to anyone 65 years or older, veterans and active military personnel with identification.
Jushi owns 78% of the equity of the Grover Beach, California retail license and has the option to acquire the remaining equity in the future, the company said.
Separately, Jushi also announced that it has begun offering language translation services for phone calls received through the Jushi Customer Care Team to support patients and customers in local areas.
The service provides caller translations in over 200 languages and will help Jushi better serve diverse communities and foster an inclusive atmosphere, it added.
