DORADO, Puerto Rico, Aug. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSRX Industries Inc. (OTCQB: GSRX) (“GSRX” or, the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Project 1493 LLC, has filed for pre-qualification of a dispensary license for a new Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensary in Puerto Rico.  If granted pre-qualification, this would bring the total number of GSRX medicinal cannabis dispensaries there to nine, upon receipt of the requisite establishment licenses from the Department of Health of Puerto Rico.

The new pre-qualification application is for a location at Urbanización Muñoz Rivera, Calle Acuarela C-15 (local A), Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, 00969. Guaynabo is located on Puerto Rico’s northern coast, west of San Juan, and is considered part of the San Juan metropolitan area. Guaynabo is the host city for a number of Puerto Rico’s annual festivals, including Three Reyes Festival in January and Mabó Carnival in March. Approximately 100,000 people reside throughout Guaynabo’s ten wards, and it is home to the three-level enclosed shopping mall San Patricio Plaza, which boasts more than 120 shops.

GSRX currently operates Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensaries in Dorado, Carolina and the Hato Rey neighborhood of San Juan.  In addition to Guaynabo, the Company has five more locations that are currently under construction or near completion in Puerto Rico, located in Isla Verde, San Juan, Fajardo, Old San Juan and Bayamón. The Company also owns and operates The Green Room, a cannabis dispensary in Point Arena, California.  GSRX recently received pre-qualification and preliminary approval for a medicinal cannabis manufacturing license (Manufacturing) and a medicinal cannabis transportation license (Transportation), the latter of which will allow the Company to transport and deliver cannabis between Green Spirit RX dispensaries and patients’ homes in Puerto Rico.
