RISE St. Paul Cannabis Dispensary represents the evolution of LeafLine Industries following its 2021 acquisition by Green Thumb Industries (GTI). This dispensary serves medical patients in a retail environment that prioritizes product education and customer safety.
The location features a modern retail design characteristic of RISE’s national brand, offering a full range of cannabis products, including flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, and topicals. Their staff includes trained budtenders and medical consultants who provide personalized recommendations, though the location experienced significant staff turnover during its transition from LeafLine to RISE operations in 2022.
While the dispensary has faced some operational challenges, including security concerns about parking lot lighting and after-hours safety protocols, management has responded with infrastructure improvements, including enhanced lighting systems and revised security measures. The store strictly complies with Minnesota cannabis regulations and requires valid customer identification.
The St. Paul location has undergone substantial operational changes since becoming part of the RISE brand, implementing GTI’s standardized procedures and digital patient education resources. These changes have modernized the shopping experience but also impacted the personalized service model that characterized its LeafLine days. Recent improvements have focused on balancing efficient retail operations with quality patient care.
