Grön expands to New York

Company brings Sugar-Coated Pearls, MEGAs to the market with Omnium Canna.

Grön is expanding to the New York market.

The company’s New York debut will include its Sugar Coated Pearls, as well as the Grön MEGAs, each in four distinct flavors and cannabinoid ratios. The products will be available at Strain Stars (Long Island), The Travel Agency (Union Square and Brooklyn) and Curaleaf (Hudson Valley), with more than 75 stores across the state coming online in the coming months.

“Bringing Grön to New York has always been a dream for us, and we are so excited to introduce our beloved Pearls and MEGAs to the New York market,” said Christine Smith, founder and CEO of Grön. “We think the New York community is going to really enjoy a new and delicious cannabis experience with our unique flavors and cannabinoid ratios. We’re hitting the ground running and are looking forward to getting truly involved with the communities we’ll be serving, while making new fans with our innovative products.”

For its entrance into New York, Grön has partnered with Omnium Canna for processing, which holds the distinction of being the first licensed minority-owned cannabis processor and extractor in the United States, certified by the USPAACC.

“We are thrilled to partner with Grön, a trailblazing woman-owned and led company, to introduce their premium cannabis edibles to the people of New York,” said Omnium Canna CEO Howard Hoffman.

Grön’s Sugar-Coated Pearls are made with natural fruit flavors, are gluten-free, soy-free and infused with full-spectrum cannabis extract. With each pack containing 10 pearls, the Sugar-Coated Pearl flavors available in New York include Blackberry Lemonade (1:1:2 CBN/CBD/THC, indica), Pomegranate (4:1 CBD/THC, hybrid), Blueberry Lemonade (3:1 CBG/THC, sativa), and Tangelo (2:1:1 THC/CBC/CBG, sativa).

Grön’s MEGAs are five times larger than their standard 10 mg Sugar-Coated Pearls – a single-piece sugar-coated gummy with 100 mg THC. MEGAs are also full-spectrum, gluten-free and soy-free and will be available in four flavors in New York: Cherry Limeade (indica), Passion Orange Guava (hybrid), Blackberry (1:1 CBN/THC, indica), and Blue Razzbleberry (1:1 CBG/THC, sativa).
