RISE Dispensary originally operated under various names including Zenleaf and FP Wellness in different markets, RISE has unified its brand identity while maintaining the local expertise and community connections that patients value. The company operates under GTI (Green Thumb Industries), one of the nation's leading cannabis consumer packaged goods companies, ensuring consistent quality standards and product availability across all locations. 

RISE Cannabis Strategic Multi-State Presence

RISE Dispensary Bethesda anchors the company's Maryland operations, with the main corporate address at 471 E Main Street, Branford, CT 06405. The Bethesda location benefits from its position in Montgomery County's affluent market, serving both medical patients and recreational consumers since Maryland's adult-use legalization in July 2023. The dispensary network's strategic placement across multiple states allows RISE to serve diverse communities, from urban centers in Chicago and New York to suburban markets in Pennsylvania and Florida. Each location is carefully selected for accessibility, with considerations for public transportation, parking availability, and proximity to medical facilities. The Bethesda store particularly benefits from its location near the National Institutes of Health and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, serving many healthcare professionals and patients seeking alternative medicine options.
