Curaleaf presently operates a total of four dispensaries: a medical dispensary in Hanover, an adult-use and medical dispensary in Oxford, and an adult-use dispensary in Provincetown.
Located at 124 West Street, Curaleaf stated that the opening of this dispensary will provide more than twenty jobs to the local economy.
