Curio Wellness

What Curio Wellness does

Curio Wellness is a privately held, vertically integrated cannabis operator founded in 2016 and headquartered in Towson, Maryland (Delaware-incorporated). The company controls the full value chain from indoor controlled-environment cultivation through CO2 extraction, precision formulation, and retail dispensing, with operations spanning four U.S. state markets: Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, and New York. Its core products span nine categories — flower, pre-rolls, vapes, chews, tablets, topicals, tinctures, elixirs, and chocolates — organized into proprietary effect-based collections branded as Best Self (Thrive, Chill, Sleep, Pain, Sex, Gut) and a premium Exclusive line of small-batch hand-trimmed flower. Retail is operated through wholly-owned Far & Dotter dispensaries in Maryland and four recently acquired Greenlight dispensaries in Missouri, supplemented by wholesale distribution to licensed dispensaries across all four state markets and licensed brand collaborations with Dixie, Flower by Edie Parker, Happy Eddie, Kaviar, Ozone, Smokiez, Super Fog, and Mfused. Scientific Board oversight from healthcare and agriculture experts underpins formulation and cultivation consistency.

The business model combines direct-to-consumer retail (one-time dispensary purchases), wholesale supply to licensed dispensaries (transaction-based revenue), and licensed brand collaborations that generate distribution fees. The company has raised approximately $30.7 million across three SEC-exempt offerings (May 2021, June 2023, February 2026), with a current $30 million raise underway and a minimum $500,000 ticket for outside investors. Customer segments include medical cannabis patients, adult-use consumers in legal state markets, cannabis connoisseurs seeking premium craft genetics, and accredited investors participating in the company's exempt securities offerings. The company employs between 251 and 500 people and operates a Curio Rewards loyalty program and wellness app to support customer retention across its dispensary network.
