"We are proud to provide the communities of Scranton and Johnstown access to superior cannabis products." 

The new BEYOND / HELLO locations added this summer, along with more stores expected to open by the end of the year, will bring an estimated 300 new jobs across the Commonwealth by the end of 2019.  BEYOND / HELLO targets hiring personnel within local communities and has a strong track record of promoting employees from within the company.
