Just like other U.S based companies which engages in production and selling of marijuana, Ascend can’t be listed in the mainstream stocks markets like NYSE or Nasdaq since marijuana still remains illegal at the federal level.

Ascend Wellness was established in 2018, currently it has 13 open and operating retail locations but its aiming to increase the number to 20 locations before the year wraps up.
