Verdant Capital Partners Marks New Growth Phase with Native Roots Acquisition

Verdant Capital Partners Acquires Native Roots Operations

In a strategic move to fortify its position in the cannabis market, Verdant Capital Partners has officially completed the acquisition of 15 Native Roots retail dispensaries located in Colorado. The transaction, which closed on July 31, 2026, followed the necessary regulatory approvals, marking a pivotal milestone for Verdant as it develops its retail operating platform aimed at expanding within the cannabis sector.

Founded in 2009, Native Roots has established itself as a respected name in Colorado’s cannabis industry, known for its commitment to quality products and exceptional customer service. The brand will continue to operate under its existing name, ensuring that its established legacy remains intact while benefitting from Verdant’s operational expertise and financial backing.

Julian Michalowski, CEO of Verdant Capital Partners, expressed excitement about the acquisition: "Today's closing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both Verdant and Native Roots. Native Roots has earned the trust of customers across Colorado over the past 17 years, and our responsibility is to build on that foundation. We'll invest in our people, strengthen our operations, expand product selection, and continue earning that trust every day."

The acquisition not only reinforces Verdant's commitment to retaining the integrity of Native Roots but also aims to elevate the operational standards within the cannabis retail market. Josh Ginsberg, Principal at Verdant and Co-Founder of Native Roots, highlighted the importance of the new leadership: "What makes this transition meaningful is knowing the retail business will be led by a team committed to preserving what made Native Roots successful while continuing to raise the standard."

With this new acquisition, Verdant intends to continue its trajectory of growth by seeking additional opportunities within the cannabis retail sector across the United States. By applying a disciplined operating approach, the company aims to focus on enhancing the customer experience, achieving operational excellence, and fostering long-term value for its stakeholders.

The commitment to quality, operational efficiency, and outstanding customer relations will be central to Verdant’s future endeavors. As both companies integrate, the goal is clear: to become the preferred retailer in every market that Verdant operates.

Overall, this acquisition signifies more than just an expansion; it is a pledge to uphold the values and successes that have established Native Roots as a leading cannabis retailer in Colorado—a commitment that seeks to honor the legacy and quality that customers have come to expect.
