Restore Integrative Wellness Center LLC is set to open at 812 N. Easton Road in Plumstead Township after receiving a permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Health on Tuesday.
It’s one of 23 marijuana dispensaries that will have six months to become operational before they can begin dispensing medical marijuana.
The restore Integrative wellness center is conveniently located in the same shopping complex as Papa John’s Pizza, and just a stone’s throw from Chin’s Kitchen and Rita’s Italian Ice.
Also getting the nod from the state was CB Health Services LLC, of Illinois, which will open its dispensary in Horsham at 255 Horsham Road.
