Big Plan Holdings Legacy Partners (BPH-LP), a subsidiary of Nashville, Tennessee-based Big Plan Holdings (BPH), is pleased to announce the acquisition of a strategically significant property located in Franklin, New Jersey, expanding their reach and that of Ascend Wellness Holdings (AWH), one of the nation’s largest multistate operating (‘MSO’) cannabis companies, in the process.

BPH CEO and Founder Josh Joseph hosted a Nashville Cannabis Chat in early June 2022 and discussed the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the cannabis industry.

The world of philanthropy is changing at a highly-accelerated rate, exacerbated by COVID-19 and the embrace of the ‘Internet of Things’ in the demand for greater transparency, accountability, and impact. One family foundation took this mission to heart and from their Nashville, Tennessee headquarters they are affecting tangible change.

Long-time Chicago entrepreneurs Josh and Tara Joseph made history in 2020 when the company they founded in 2014, Grassroots Cannabis, was sold to Curaleaf for a reported $850 million. Then they moved to Nashville and created Big Plan Holdings as an umbrella for the family’s business ventures, but especially to focus on helping others, in particular minorities and women, successfully enter the cannabis business.

Katie Larson, VP of Communications, at BPH sits down with Platform Magazine to discuss Nashville’s growth.

BPH Founder/CEO Josh Joseph appears on the Taking Root Podcast to discuss his 25+ years in commercial real estate and his journey from being one of the four co-founders of Grassroots Cannabis to his ~$850M exit.
