4Front Ventures Granted Final State Approval for Adult-Use Cannabis Sales at its Mission Facilities in Worcester, Massachusetts with a Grand Opening slated for September 9, 2020

PHOENIX, Ariz., September 2, 2020 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company“) announced that the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (“CCC”) has granted 4Front’s Mission Dispensary and cultivation/processing facilities in Worcester, Massachusetts, authorization to commence adult-use retail and production operations. The soft launch of adult-use sales will start this Friday, September 4, with a Grand Opening on Wednesday, September 9, 2020.

Entry into the adult-use market significantly expands 4Front’s total addressable market and is expected to drive both top-line and bottom-line growth at the Company in the second half of 2020 and into 2021. Massachusetts is a core growth market for 4Front, with the Company also executing its fully funded expansion plans that are underway at its Georgetown, Massachusetts production facility, which are expected to significantly increase its output from this location to meet market demand.

“Receiving adult-use licensure in Worcester is another significant milestone for the Company and follows adult-use licensure at our Georgetown facility in August. We would like to thank the CCC for their support during the licensing process,” said Leo Gontmakher, CEO, 4Front Ventures. “Consistent with our Company’s culture of setting operational goals and executing upon them, it’s great to see the continuing momentum as we announce another of what I expect to be many achievements in the back half of this year. I am proud of the hard work from each of our employees in making this happen. We expect this to augment the recent accelerated growth we’re experiencing in Massachusetts as we continue to benefit from replicating our tried and true production capabilities, now fully supported by our retail stores.”
