A conversation with Kristine Arth, Lobster Phone & Cory Rothschild, Cresco Labs

This week we are following up on Cresco Labs, one of the largest cannabis operators in the United States. Involved at every point in the seed-to-sales process, it controls its own cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, and packaging. Headquartered in Chicago, IL, Cresco Labs has operations in ten states where marijuana has been legalized for medical and/or recreational use and has 18 production facilities, 44 retail licenses, and owns 32 dispensaries. The company has created a differentiated portfolio of eight brands that are aligned to distinct audiences, needs, and occasions. Aside from being sold in their own dispensaries, their brands are sold in over 700 dispensaries across the country.
