Another example of our focus on strategic breadth, depth and execution as the path to success today and as this industry evolves.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe Company expects to transition all stores in Pennsylvania to Sunnyside* by the end of Q1 2022.\n<\/p>\n \nAbout Cresco Labs Inc.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \nCresco Labs is one of the largest vertically integrated multistate cannabis operators in the United States, with a mission to normalize and professionalize the cannabis industry.
