Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. has expanded its reach in Southwest Florida with the grand opening of a new medical cannabis dispensary in Punta Gorda. The new location at 100 Madrid Boulevard, Suite 511, officially opened its doors to patients on May 23, 2025, reinforcing Curaleaf’s strong and growing presence across the state. This marks the company’s 67th dispensary in Florida and its 153rd location nationwide.
The Punta Gorda dispensary brings Curaleaf’s signature line of cannabis products to Charlotte County, offering a wide array of options including Select BRIQ vapes, Select RSO X-Bites, Anthem pre-rolls, the premium Grassroots Dark Heart Collection, and the Florida-exclusive Reef flower. These product lines cater to a variety of patient preferences, from traditional flower to precision-dosed edibles and top-tier concentrates.
To commemorate the new opening, Curaleaf has announced a celebratory ribbon-cutting event scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025. The event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is expected to feature live music, giveaways, and exclusive product promotions. The company hopes the event will draw community interest and serve as an opportunity to educate new patients about the availability and benefits of medical cannabis.
Operating hours for the Punta Gorda location are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., providing convenient access for patients throughout the week. With locations already operating in nearby Fort Myers and Port Charlotte, Curaleaf is strategically positioning itself to serve the broader Southwest Florida region with efficiency and accessibility.
This latest launch highlights Curaleaf’s commitment to reaching patients in underserved markets and ensuring consistent product availability throughout the state. As medical cannabis adoption continues to grow in Florida, particularly among aging populations and chronic pain sufferers, companies like Curaleaf are racing to meet the demand with expanded retail footprints and enhanced customer support.
The dispensary opening also reflects a larger trend of cannabis normalization and industry maturity in Florida. Curaleaf’s continued investment in the region aligns with state-level trends showing consistent growth in patient registrations and product sales. By embedding itself further into communities like Punta Gorda, the company aims to offer not just products but also educational resources, community partnerships, and patient-focused wellness solutions.
As part of its broader mission, Curaleaf focuses on empowering patients through knowledge and accessibility. Staff members are trained to provide one-on-one consultations, ensuring patients—especially those new to cannabis—receive guidance tailored to their specific health needs.
With Southwest Florida continuing to develop as a key region in the state’s medical cannabis landscape, Curaleaf’s latest opening in Punta Gorda signifies more than just another storefront. It represents a deepening commitment to patient care, responsible access, and sustainable growth in one of the country’s most dynamic cannabis markets.
