America’s Fastest Growing Edibles Brand Secures New York Processor License to Accelerate Innovation and Growth to Power Edibles Expansion

Grön (pronounced grewn), the fastest-growing cannabis edibles brand in the U.S., is doubling down on its East Coast expansion with the acquisition of a New York State Type 2 adult-use processor license. The move marks a pivotal shift in strategy from the brand’s “reverse licensing” model to full operational control—positioning Grön as a long-term player in the Empire State’s evolving cannabis market.

With this license, Grön gains access to an over 10,000-square-foot facility in Hauppauge, strategically located for distribution to New York City and major markets across the state. The space will serve as the innovation hub for Grön’s award-winning cannabis-infused products, including its newly launched 100% solventless hash rosin edibles.

“This acquisition gives us the infrastructure and independence to deepen our roots in New York and further expand our product lines and availability,” said Christine Apple, CEO and Founder of Grön. “New York has been a pivotal chapter in our growth story, and it means so much to us to expand our presence while creating new jobs and opportunities.”

Previously, Grön entered the New York market in 2024 through a reverse licensing approach—partnering with local operators while retaining brand integrity and proprietary formulations. By securing its own processor license, the company now assumes full control of production and operations in-state, fast-tracking its innovation pipeline and unlocking new product categories for regional consumers.

According to Hoodie Analytics, Grön is growing faster than any other edibles brand in the country. Its recent success is largely credited to its flavor-forward formulations, sustainability practices, and commitment to plant-based, clean-label ingredients. With availability already spanning Arizona, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Illinois, and Canada, the New York expansion is the latest milestone in Grön’s mission to redefine the cannabis edible experience.

The announcement comes as New York’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) pushes forward with new efforts to foster product diversity and increase accessibility across the legal market. Grön’s expansion aligns with the state’s vision for innovation-driven operators that can deliver consistent quality at scale.

With its Hauppauge facility now online, Grön is set to launch new product lines specifically tailored to New York consumers while creating new economic opportunities in the region. From handcrafted chocolates to solventless gummies, Grön’s elevated edibles are poised to become a staple in the state's cannabis retail landscape.
