The Mint Dispensary was founded in Arizona in 2016 as a patient-centric, affordable, vertically integrated, state-licensed medical cannabis dispensary. The Mint’s commitment to its core values, patients, and community resulted in the exponential growth of its retail brand. This led to the successful opening of its second Arizona commercial indoor medical marijuana cultivation facility in 2018, where we proved that we are capable of being leaders in the cannabis industry.
Due to our consistent delivery of quality products, The Mint has continued to see a boom in growth, with six thriving locations in Arizona, two Michigan locations, and a brand new store in Missouri. We want to expand our dedicated team to continue promoting our growth and business needs!
