Green Thumb opens store in Joliet

Posted January 02, 2020 12:00 am

JOLIET - Green Thumb Industries, Owner of Rise and Essence cannabis retail stores, has opened its 40th store, Rise Joliet, the first adult-use only store in Illinois.

"January 1 was a historic day in Illinois as adult-use cannabis sales launched in Illinois, and we're honored that Rise Joliet is part of that history," said GTI Founder and CEO Ben Kovler. "The energy and enthusiasm from new customers has been overwhelming."

GTI has six open stores in the state, including 3C Naperville, which will currently only offer sales to customers with a valid Illinois medical marijuana card. Naperville will hold a nonbinding voter referendum on adult-use sales in March, and until then the store will only be open to registered medical patients.

Rise Joliet is located at 2903 Colorado Avenue in Joliet. Hours are daily from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
