Curaleaf Holdings (TSE: CURA), a leading international supplier of consumer cannabis products, announced Thursday it has signed a deal to acquire Natural Remedy Patient Center, LLC, a dispensary in Safford, Arizona.
Curaleaf Continues Arizona Expansion
The cash and stock transaction is valued at approximately $13 million. The transaction is expected to close in January 2022, subject to customary approvals and conditions.

Upon closing, this transaction will increase Curaleaf’s business footprint to 118 dispensaries across the United States.
