Ayr WellnessAnnounces New Retail Locations and LEVIA Availability in Florida

**MIAMI,**November 1, 2022 - Ayr Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“Ayr” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator (“MSO”), announces the opening of two new retail stores in Florida, located in Daytona Beach and Lake Worth, as well as the expansion of LEVIA water-soluble cannabis tinctures to its Florida retail menus.

Ayr’s newest stores in Daytona Beach and Lake Worth join more than 50 other retail locations throughout the state. Through this robust retail footprint, Florida’s rapidly growing community of more than 761,000 qualified patients have access to Ayr’s growing menu of cannabis products.

“We are excited to see the results from the progress we’ve made in Florida since acquiring Liberty Health Sciences in 2021. We’ve opened more than 20 new locations, with our store count now at 52, and have introduced several brands from our national portfolio to the market,” said Jonathan Sandelman, Founder and CEO of Ayr. “On our mission to produce the highest quality cannabis at scale, Florida has been instrumental in bringing that vision to life.”

At all Liberty Health Sciences locations, patients can now enjoy LEVIA water-soluble cannabis tinctures, the latest addition to its menus following the recent introduction of hydrocarbon-extracted concentrates brand HAZE, as well as the award-winning premium whole flower brand, Lost in Translation (LIT).

LEVIA tinctures come in three unique offerings: the indica Dream, the hybrid Celebrate, and the sativa Achieve. Featuring high bioavailability and 300 mg of THC per bottle, LEVIA tinctures are water-soluble, allowing for flexible dosing and easy mixing with water and other beverages based on consumers’ preference. The tinctures are fast-acting, providing a unique intended effect for the consumer within minutes.

Now operating in eight states throughout the country, Ayr continues to reaffirm its commitment to the state of Florida, employing more than 800 people across its headquarters office in Miami, 52 retail locations throughout the state, 745k sq. ft. cultivation facility in Gainesville and other field and corporate positions.
