It's safe to say that Cresco Labs has had a successful 2022.

Since opening its first Sunnyside Cannabis Dispensary at 3900 N. Ninth Ave. in Pensacola early this year, Cresco Labs wasted no time in extending its footprint.

"When we opened the Ninth Avenue location, it was our 12th location in Florida," Cresco Labs Florida Regional President Cris Rivera said. "Our newest dispensary on Nine Mile Road will be our 20th."

Sunnyside Cannabis Dispensary offers a wide variety of cannabis products and is largest wholesaler of branded cannabis products in the United States, according to the company. From vapes to edibles, flower products and capsules, Sunnyside distributes under an umbrella of national brands such as Mindy's Edibles, Good News, Remedi, Wonder Wellness Co. and FloraCal Farms.

According to Rivera, Cresco Labs sees the second location as an opportunity to reach more people in the greater Pensacola area.

"If you can't shop in person, you can always order online," Rivera said. "We also provide free delivery for all orders over $100 after discounts."

Despite the convenience of ordering Sunnyside Cannabis Dispensary products online or by phone with ease, you will still need to have a Florida medical card for verification.

The new location will be offering opening promotions, including two One Plant eighths for $70 and three for $90; two 1 gram One Plant Live Rosin concentrates for $140 and three for $198; $30 select eighths; five whole flower pre-rolls for $60; three Live THCa One Plant Sand for $180; and two Sunnyside Chews for $45, three for $65 and four for $80.

Some of our locations sustained damage, but we stayed open to provide as much access as possible."
