The additions include 33 dispensaries and about 117,000 square feet of cultivation and production capacity. The figures the company reported for the state after completing the acquisition indicate about 74 operating dispensaries and about 317,000 square feet of operating cultivation and manufacturing capacity.

The price published in EL7 data did not include a daily trading range or an explanation of the stock’s movement. The company had previously scheduled a discussion of its third-quarter results and strategy with investors on November 10. The stock’s close came on the eve of that call, for which the company said it would issue its financial results in a press release beforehand.
Vireo had announced that the call would take place on November 10 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its business and results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
