West Virginia’s Harvest Care Secures $4 Million Refinancing to Fuel Expansion

Marijuana operator Harvest Care Medical has secured a $4 million refinancing deal to strengthen its presence in West Virginia. The company aims to use the funds to expand cultivation operations and dispensaries while easing financial burdens by cutting down monthly debt expenses.

A Strategic Boost for Expansion

The refinancing move is more than just a financial adjustment—it’s a calculated push to gain a stronger foothold in West Virginia’s cannabis market. Harvest Care has been steadily expanding, and this injection of funds is expected to accelerate its growth.

William Freas, co-founder and board member, sees this as a turning point. He believes the additional capital will allow the company to ramp up its medical cannabis operations significantly. “Harvest Care is steadfast in its mission to lead the West Virginia cannabis market,” Freas stated.

His optimism isn’t misplaced. The company already operates seven dispensaries under the Country Grown brand and has two more locations in the pipeline. These new dispensaries, expected to launch in the first and second quarters, will further strengthen Harvest Care’s presence in the state.

The Advantage of Favorable Financing

Access to capital is often a major challenge in the cannabis industry, given federal banking restrictions. But Harvest Care managed to secure financing at an interest rate of less than 10%, which is no small feat.

Kevin Gibbs, another co-founder and board member, emphasized that the deal aligns with the company’s long-term goals. “This refinancing reflects our continued commitment to driving growth while maintaining financial discipline,” he said.

That balance—growth without reckless spending—is crucial in an industry known for its volatility. By refinancing at a lower interest rate, Harvest Care can reinvest more money into scaling operations rather than servicing debt.

West Virginia’s Cannabis Market Gaining Momentum

West Virginia was relatively late to the medical marijuana scene, launching sales in 2021, four years after legislation was signed into law. But since then, the market has been picking up speed.

  • The state has licensed a limited number of operators, giving companies like Harvest Care an opportunity to establish strong brand recognition.
  • Demand for medical marijuana is rising as more patients enroll in the program.
  • Despite banking and regulatory hurdles, investment in West Virginia’s cannabis sector has been growing steadily.

Harvest Care’s latest refinancing deal signals confidence in the market’s potential. With medical cannabis sales still in their early stages, there’s plenty of room for expansion.

What’s Next for Harvest Care?

The company isn’t slowing down. With two new dispensaries opening soon and a focus on cultivation expansion, it’s clear that Harvest Care is positioning itself for long-term success.

Its ability to secure favorable financing also sets a precedent for other cannabis businesses looking to grow sustainably. If the West Virginia market continues to develop as expected, Harvest Care could emerge as a dominant player in the region.

The next few months will be critical as the company executes its expansion plans. But for now, with fresh funding in hand, Harvest Care appears to be on solid footing.
