Green Goods currently operates dispensaries across multiple states including Minnesota, Maryland, and others, offering both medical and adult-use cannabis where legally permitted. Their Minnesota dispensaries operate in key locations including Minneapolis, Bloomington, Rochester, Moorhead, Burnsville, and Woodbury, providing convenient access for patients throughout the state, with recreational sales expected to begin in 2025.Their product lineup features a carefully curated selection of premium cannabis, including locally-grown flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, and edibles. Green Goods carries both their own house brands, like Boundary Waters flower and Vireo-branded products, as well as trusted third-party brands. Each product undergoes rigorous third-party lab testing to ensure quality, potency, and safety.What sets Green Goods apart is their complete seed-to-sale operation. As part of Vireo Health (now Vireo Growth Inc.), they cultivate cannabis in environmentally friendly greenhouses and manufacture pharmaceutical-grade extracts in state-of-the-art facilities. This vertical integration allows them to maintain strict quality control at every step while offering competitive pricing. Every Green Goods location features knowledgeable staff, including on-site pharmacists at many locations, ensuring customers receive expert guidance tailored to their specific needs.
Green Goods began as the retail arm of Vireo Health, a physician-founded medical cannabis company established in 2014 by emergency medicine doctor Kyle Kingsley, MD. After witnessing countless patients successfully using cannabis to alleviate pain while avoiding opioid addiction, Dr. Kingsley was inspired to create a company that would bring medical expertise and scientific rigor to the cannabis industry.Starting with a single location in Minnesota under the Minnesota Medical Solutions name, the company quickly expanded its footprint. In October 2019, Vireo Health officially launched the Green Goods dispensary brand with its first location in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This marked the beginning of a strategic rebranding effort to create a more welcoming, patient-focused retail experience.Through careful expansion and a commitment to quality, Green Goods has grown into a respected multi-state operator with dispensaries across Minnesota, Maryland, and other states. By 2021, the company had successfully doubled its Minnesota presence to eight locations, establishing itself as one of the state's most trusted cannabis retailers. Today, Green Goods continues its mission of providing safe access to high-quality cannabis products while supporting the communities it serves.
