(San Francisco, CA) — Harvest, the medical cannabis dispensary brand that operates two retail outlets in San Francisco, is planning an expansion into additional cities in Northern and Southern California beginning in 2018.  Marty Higgins, the founder and CEO of Harvest, has formed a new entity to capitalize the expansion through an initial $20 million in investment from institutional buyers and accredited investors.

Harvest on Geary and Harvest off Mission were opened in 2016 and have received accolades from customers and industry partners for their fresh approach to cannabis merchandising, personal service and on-site consumption.  Both Harvest locations feature a semi-private lounge with luxury appointments where members and guests can consume all forms of cannabis.

According to Higgins, “The response to our first two stores confirms that consumers want a normalized retail experience when they shop for cannabis.  Our store design and retail format were designed for scale and we are positioning Harvest to become California’s most respected retail cannabis brand”.
