\n<\/h3>\n
WHAT:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Just in time for \u201cThe Big Game\u201d in Glendale, Mint Cannabis will open a new West Valley dispensary just minutes from State Farm Stadium. Near the I-10 and 75th Avenue intersection in west Phoenix, the new dispensary will be the Mint\u2019s fifth in the state and will serve adults ages 21 and older.<\/p>\n The Mint is offering local media an opportunity to get a sneak peek of its new dispensary (1211 N. 75th Ave.) during a special media preview event at noon this Friday, Feb. 3, where they will have the opportunity to tour the new location with the Mint\u2019s Co-Founders and meet six-time Olympic champion swimmer and medical marijuana patient and advocate Amy Van Dyken-Rouen. \u00a0<\/p>\n Van Dyken-Rouen was paralyzed in an ATV accident in 2014 and relies on medical marijuana to manage lingering pain. Van Dyken-Rouen will share her inspiring story of recovery and perseverance as part of the media preview event.<\/p>\n Two weeks later, at noon on Friday, Feb. 17, the Mint will hold a grand opening celebration of its newest dispensary for the public with former NFL champion quarterback Jim McMahon, who led the Chicago Bears to a \u201cBig Game\u201d victory in 1985, and who at one time played for the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n McMahon uses cannabis to treat the chronic pain and arthritis that he suffers from his football career. He calls cannabis a “Godsend” that allowed him to eliminate his painkiller habit, which used to include 100 Percocet pills a month. He co-founded a cannabis company called Revenant in July 2021 with two other retired NFL players \u2013 Kyle Turley and Eben Britton. The company\u2019s mission is to provide an alternative, natural way of healing without using industrialized pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n During the grand opening event on Feb. 17, the Mint will distribute free medicated swag bags to the first 100 customers (ages 21+) at noon. The cannabis operator will also offer free tacos in the parking lot of its newest location on this day, from noon to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n To further celebrate the new dispensary location, the Mint will donate $1 from each pre-roll sold at its newest dispensary on Friday, Feb. 3; Friday, Feb. 10; and Friday, Feb. 17 to the 100 Club of Arizona.<\/p>\n This is the first time that the state of Arizona has hosted the \u201cBig Game\u201d with legalized marijuana in effect, which has many cannabis industry experts predicting large sales increases leading up to the major event.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This new dispensary will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.<\/p>\n WHEN:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Friday, Feb. 3, at noon (MEDIA DAY) Monday, Feb. 6 – Thursday, Feb. 16 (MEDIA TOURS) Sunday, Feb. 12 (THE BIG GAME) \u00a0 Friday, Feb. 17, at noon (GRAND OPENING) WHERE:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Mint Cannabis\u2019 newest Arizona dispensary 1211 N. 75th Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85043 southeast of I-10 and 75th Avenue minutes from State Farm Stadium<\/p>\n WHY:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re anticipating heavy traffic into this new location because the area is so undeserved as far as dispensaries go,\u201d said Shahara. \u201cThis new dispensary is only a 5-to-10-minute drive from State Farm Stadium, so we anticipate it will be a popular place as we count down the days to the Big Game on Feb. 12 in Glendale.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCountless West Valley customers drive across the Valley to our East Valley dispensaries,\u201d said Shahara. \u201cNow, they will be able to access our great selection of products closer to home.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWith the opening of our first West Valley dispensary, we\u2019re continuing our pattern of smart, steady growth in Arizona,\u201d said Eivan Shahara, Co-Founder and CEO of Mint Cannabis. \u201cThis growth means that we are able to leverage our innovative approach to serve more patients and customers, create additional employment opportunities for Valley workers, and invest in the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n WHO: <\/strong>Mint Cannabis continues to expand its presence across the country with state-of-the-art facilities. With a reputation for\u00a0\u00a0 providing a wide variety of high-quality products and personalized service, the Mint offers the most diverse selection of flower\/buds, edibles, and concentrates. The Mint\u2019s flagship location in Guadalupe\/Tempe, Ariz. \u2013 which introduced the nation\u2019s first cannabis kitchen of its kind in 2018; added a large on-site grow in 2019; and implemented an on-site drive-thru in 2020 \u2013 was named \u201cMost Innovative\u201d by the international Commercial Cannabis Awards.
