Elevate Cannabis
Expands to Illinois with Award-Winning Cultivation
The EVOLUTION Magazine Newsroom
Multi-state cannabis operator Elevate Cannabis is bringing its best-in-class products to the Illinois market this fall, marking a major milestone in the company’ s growth across the Midwest. Known for its expansive strain portfolio and carefully cultivated flower, Elevate comes to Illinois with two distinct product lines: the flagship brand and its value-focused sibling, Rooted.
Launching with retail offerings in the flower, pre-roll, and vape categories, Elevate is entering Illinois with a focus on more than just potency. Both brands are made for consumers seeking consistent quality, a rotating selection of strains with a core foundation of fan favorites— all grown by a team with 100 years of combined experience.
“ Elevate is a family-owned business led by people who know cultivation from the ground up. A team of people from Illinois runs our Du Quoin facility— we’ re committed to the communities we serve, and to recruiting top quality local talent in the industry,” said Ian Peak, chief cultivator of Elevate Cannabis.
