PORTLAND, Ore., July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gron (pronounced grewn), America's fastest growing cannabis edibles brand, announced today the strategic acquisition of an adult-use processor license in New York. The acquisition of the Type 2 Processor license marks a key milestone for Gron as the company continues its rapid East Coast expansion and long-term investment in the New York cannabis market. As a licensed New York cannabis processor, Gron will supercharge its product innovation pipeline and bring the company's acclaimed production model to Hauppauge, NY, giving it a strategic location for distribution to New York City and key markets across New York State. Gron first entered New York in 2024 through their innovative “reverse licensing” model.
The acquisition of an adult-use processor license in New York is a strategic departure from the reverse licensing model that Gron has pioneered across the country, accelerating growth faster than any other cannabis edibles brand, according to Hoodie Analytics. As the license holder in New York, Gron will have full control of the facility and operations used to make their acclaimed cannabis edibles, as well as providing the company with the ability to further innovate new product launches. Gron recently introduced 100% solventless hash rosin-infused edibles in New York, with plans for further product line extensions and innovations now fast-tracked.
“This acquisition gives us the infrastructure and independence to deepen our roots in New York and further expand our product lines and availability,” said Christine Apple, CEO and Founder of Gron. “New York has been a pivotal chapter in our growth story, and it means so much to us to expand our presence while creating new jobs and opportunities. We're appreciative of the New York OCM and their vision and willingness to work with companies like ours to continue delivering innovative cannabis products at scale and to be part of shaping what cannabis looks like in this incredible state.”
The newly acquired license includes an over 10,000 square-foot processing facility in Hauppauge, NY, which will serve as the epicenter of Gron's New York operations. The facility will support increasing product demand and enable the brand to expand its portfolio of cannabis-infused edibles tailored to the New York consumer.
The expansion by Gron comes at a time when the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is accelerating efforts to foster product innovation and market accessibility. With this move, Gron is poised to play a defining role in shaping the future of edibles in the Empire State.
