Chris Mayle is an investor and founder of Advanced Grow Labs, a company specializing in cultivating high-quality marijuana products, including sativa, indica, and hybrid flowers for patients. Advanced Grow Labs operates a 41,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in West Haven, Connecticut, and is one of only four companies in the state licensed to grow and process cannabis. The company produces and distributes a wide range of cannabis products to every operating store in Connecticut. In January 2019, Advanced Grow Labs was acquired by Green Thumb Industries (GTI), a national cannabis consumer packaged goods company, marking GTI's entry into the Connecticut market. Following the acquisition, Advanced Grow Labs continued to operate under its original management team, with David Lipton serving as the Chief Executive Officer. The acquisition was valued at approximately $80 million, which included cash and subordinate voting shares of GTI. This strategic move allowed GTI to expand its presence in the tri-state area and strengthen its position in the growing cannabis industry. Under the leadership of David Lipton, Advanced Grow Labs has been recognized for its commitment to producing high-quality cannabis products and its dedication to serving the needs of Connecticut's medical marijuana patients. The company's innovative cultivation techniques and diverse product offerings have contributed to its success in the competitive cannabis market. Advanced Grow Labs' focus on quality and patient care has set a standard for cannabis cultivation and processing in the region, reflecting the company's dedication to excellence in the industry.
