Rooted 与 ReLeaf Shop 合作门店将于 10 月 30 日在 Eldersburg 开业

Veteran-founded partnership brings Baltimore's ReLeaf Shop to Carroll County

, /PRNewswire/ -- Rooted, a collaboration with ReLeaf Shop, will celebrate its grand opening Friday, Oct. 30, with opening remarks at 12:50 p.m. and a ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. at 1337 Liberty Road.

The medical and adult-use dispensary is a partnership between Rooted Cannabis founder Andrae McEnnis, a 20-year military veteran, and Connor Whelton, co-founder of the Eldersburg license and CEO of ReLeaf Shop, which his family opened in Baltimore in 2018.

"Most of my projects, I build and hand off," McEnnis said. "This one I'm going to be in every week. I want people in Eldersburg to be glad we're here, and that starts with how we treat them at the counter."

"For years we had customers driving down from Sykesville, Westminster and Mount Airy to shop with us in Baltimore," said Connor Whelton, CEO of ReLeaf Shop. "Andrae knows this community. Now the same menu, the same buyers and the same rewards program are 25 minutes closer to home."

Connor's father, Dr. Andrew Whelton, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, works with the ReLeaf team. As an Army doctor in Vietnam, he commanded the Army's first combat renal dialysis center.

"I spent a lot of my career running drug trials, so I care about what's on the label," Whelton said.

Friday's celebration includes barbecue from George's BBQ (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Bearded Ray's (4 to 7 p.m.), a photo booth from 1 to 4 p.m. and a DJ from 4 to 7 p.m. Spokespeople are available for interviews 1 to 3 p.m.

The store is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily with free parking. Active-duty and retired military members get 25% off non-sale products every day. Customers can order ahead at releaf-shop.com, and rewards points work at both stores. Only adults 21 and older can enter the sales floor.
