University Drive, will each give away 100 gift bags per store, per day, throughout Memorial Day weekend (Friday – Sunday). Additionally, all Zen Leaf dispensaries will feature specials and promotions over the holiday weekend across a number of product categories to thank Arizona customers and celebrate the opening of the largest Zen Leaf in the Grand Canyon state.
“Commemorating the opening of Zen Leaf North Phoenix is a watershed moment for Verano, and I’m tremendously proud of our team for their hard work and vision in bringing this flagship Arizona dispensary to life,” said George Archos, Verano Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re thankful for our valued guests and thrilled to welcome everyone at Zen Leaf North Phoenix, our largest Arizona dispensary, and across all of our six Zen Leaf dispensaries statewide throughout Memorial Day weekend.”
