Jushi Holdings Inc. (CSE: JUSH) announced this morning that licensed medical marijuana processor Franklin Bioscience OH has started its operations at Jushi’s newly constructed 8,000 sq. ft. facility in Columbus, Ohio. The two companies also applied for a change of ownership to recognize Franklin Bioscience OH as Jushi’s subsidiary.
The company projects that the new facility will be able to process north of 10,000 lbs. of biomass annually.
In April 2021, Jushi also announced the $5.0 million deal to acquire Ohio-based cannabis cultivator OhiGrow. Jushi CEO Jim Cacioppo said that combining the capabilities of the new processing facility with the recently announced cultivation facility acquisition, the company will be “moving one step closer to being vertically integrated” in the Ohio medical cannabis market.
