Jose Patino, Head of Marketing, Bloom Medicinals: We currently have five wonderful locations rooted in Akron, Columbus, Maumee, Painesville Township and Seven Mile. MedicateOH: How many locations are in Ohio? Are there plans for more locations? The interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. I recently caught up with Bloom’s Ohio management team to shed some light on the chain’s local operations that serve five cities, the dispensaries’ patient relationships, as well as plans for the future as Ohio enters its third year of its medical marijuana program. About a year ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing CEO Nicole Van Rensburg to learn more about her company’s dispensary chain, Bloom Medicinals, headquartered in south Florida in the city of Boca Raton.
