Willow Pharmacy

What Willow Pharmacy does

Willow Pharmacy (also operating as Willow Pharmacy of Madisonville) is a privately held, licensed therapeutic cannabis pharmacy headquartered at 1519 Highway 22 W, Madisonville Center Suite 3, Madisonville, Louisiana 70447. Founded in 2019, the company holds the sole permit issued by the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy to dispense therapeutic cannabis in Region 9, the Southeast Louisiana district covering the Florida Parishes of Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington. It dispenses physician-recommended medical cannabis in every Louisiana-approved delivery method currently available, including tinctures, metered dose inhalers (vapes), topicals, gelatin chews (gummies), topical creams, and concentrates, and has added Cookies Brand premium genetics to its inventory. The company also sells a line of over-the-counter CBD products (tinctures, bath bombs, bath salts, pet tinctures, topicals) to the general public from its dispensary lobby without requiring a recommendation.

Willow's revenue model is transaction-based dispensing of regulated medical cannabis to qualified patients enrolled in Louisiana's Therapeutic Marijuana Program, supplemented by walk-in CBD sales. Patient flow requires a Louisiana-licensed physician recommendation (broadened on August 1, 2020 to allow recommendations for any debilitating condition), which is transmitted to the pharmacy by fax, after which the patient collects medication in-store or via online ordering. The company offers on-staff pharmacist consultations and tele-health physician scheduling through the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners portal to reduce patient friction. Marketing is largely via physician referrals, word-of-mouth, and an active Facebook page.

The business operates on a regulated oligopoly model: the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy established nine regions and awarded one permit per region, so Willow competes with only one indirectly relevant neighbor (the closest permitted dispensaries serve adjacent regions). With 1-10 employees, a single physical location, and no disclosed funding or institutional ownership, the business is a small, regionally focused operator whose scale is deliberately capped by its regulatory footprint within Region 9.

Broad incumbents

• Curaleaf Holdings: Large multi-state cannabis operator with vertically integrated cultivation, processing, and retail dispensaries across many U.S. states. Comparable as a pharmacy-style dispensary operator but operates at far greater scale and geographic breadth than Willow.
• Columbia Care (now The Cannabist Company): Multi-state medical cannabis operator with pharmacy-style dispensaries and pharmacist consultations. Comparable dispensary clinical/pharmacy model, but operates across many U.S. state programs versus Willow's single-region Louisiana footprint.
• Verano Holdings: Multi-state vertically integrated cannabis operator with retail dispensaries (Zen Leaf and others). Comparable medical dispensary and pharmacist-consultation format, but at significantly broader geographic and product scale.
• Ayr Wellness: U.S. multi-state cannabis operator with retail dispensaries focused on physician-recommended medical cannabis patients. Comparable clinical dispensary model but with broader geographic reach than Willow's single Louisiana permit.
• Cresco Labs: Multi-state cannabis operator combining branded wholesale product (including original Cookies collaborations) with retail dispensaries. Comparable as a regulated cannabis pharmacy/dispensary, though at substantially larger scale and product breadth.
• Green Thumb Industries (GTI): U.S. multi-state cannabis consumer packaged goods and retail operator with Rise Dispensaries. Comparable medical cannabis dispensary format with pharmacist consultation services, though GTI operates across many states versus Willow's single regional permit.
• Trulieve Cannabis Corp. Multi-state medical and adult-use cannabis operator with a heavy dispensary footprint in the Southeastern U.S. Comparable retail dispensary model serving physician-recommended patients, though at substantially larger scale than Willow's single Louisiana location.

Direct peers

• The Apothecary Shoppe: Louisiana medical cannabis pharmacy licensed by the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy, dispensing physician-recommended cannabis products to patients in another designated region with a similar pharmacist-consultation model.
• Capitol Wellness Solutions: Another Louisiana-licensed therapeutic cannabis dispensary operating under the same state permit framework, serving a different region of the state with comparable pharmacist-led dispensing and product mix.

Emerging players

• Cookies (Cookies retail dispensaries): Premium cannabis brand with vertically integrated retail stores (Cookies, Lemonnade, Minntz) in multiple states. Comparable through the partnership with Willow stocking Cookies products; brand-owned dispensaries share premium product positioning but operate in adult-use, multi-state retail settings.
