Budr Cannabis Strengthens Its Connecticut Operations with New Acquisitions
In a significant move aimed at expanding its footprint in the cannabis industry, Budr Cannabis is pleased to announce the acquisition of three prominent dispensaries across Connecticut. The newly integrated locations—The Botanist of Danbury, The Botanist of Montville, and The Botanist of Vernon—will now operate under the Budr brand, marking a pivotal expansion for the company into a thriving market.
Founded by industry veterans Carl Tirella Jr. and Derrick Gibbs, Budr Cannabis has established itself as a leader in the retail cannabis space with a total of five locations—four in Connecticut and one in Yonkers, New York. This latest acquisition, backed by the strategic partner Poseidon Investment Management, LLC, is part of Budr's comprehensive strategy to enhance the accessibility of quality cannabis products while reinforcing its commitment to community involvement.
Carl Tirella Jr. emphasized that this venture is not merely about growth but also about maintaining the highest standards of service and community integration. “By bringing these dispensaries into the Budr family, we are not only broadening our reach but also ensuring that Connecticut residents have access to safe and high-quality cannabis products,” he noted.
The newly acquired dispensaries will adopt Budr's signature approach, centered on education, product transparency, and personalized service. Customers can look forward to experiencing an elevated retail environment that prioritizes knowledgeable staff and curated product selections within welcoming facilities that aim to cater to their specific needs.
Emily Paxhia, Co-founder and Managing Director of Poseidon Investment Management, expressed excitement about the new partnership, highlighting their commitment to supporting operators that align with their vision for a responsible cannabis industry. “This transaction signifies our dedication to exceptional operators like Budr, who prioritize thoughtful expansion and community engagement,” Paxhia remarked.
Budr Cannabis has long been dedicated to driving economic opportunities within its communities. Alongside its retail expansion, the company plans to continue collaborating with local vendors, hiring regional talent, and providing job training to cultivate careers in the cannabis sector. This commitment also extends to advancing social equity, as Budr seeks to create opportunities for those who have historically been most affected by cannabis policies.
Operating within the fast-evolving landscape of adult-use cannabis, Budr strives to set new standards for the industry. Innovation, accessibility, and focused consumer education are cornerstones of Budr’s long-term vision as it shapes the future of Connecticut's cannabis market.
Overall, Budr Cannabis remains focused on delivering a superior customer experience while remaining actively involved in the communities it serves. With its expansion into these parcels of the Connecticut market, Budr is poised to establish itself as the go-to destination for those seeking knowledgeable service and higher-quality cannabis products.
