Parallel (Other Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology)

Atlanta, GA, USA Cannabis Acquired

Surterra (operating parent: Surterra Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Parallel) is a vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator founded in 2014 by Jake Bergmann and Wes Van Dyk. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company cultivates, processes, and dispenses medical and adult-use cannabis through its Surterra Wellness brand in Florida and historically operated assets in Texas, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Former Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. CEO William 'Beau' Wrigley Jr. led the company starting in 2018, raising more than $700M in equity and debt. A planned $1.9B SPAC merger with Ceres Acquisition Corp. (Scooter Braun-backed) was terminated in September 2021. Following financial distress, Parallel entered a strict foreclosure agreement with SunStream Bancorp (a JV sponsored by SNDL Inc.) in September 2023, transferring its U.S. cannabis operations to a newly formed entity, SunStream USA. The Surterra Wellness brand continues to operate Florida dispensaries.
