One of the original medical licensees in the state of New York, Etain, has opened a combination store in White Plains, New York. Female-founded Etain has been operating as a medical-only company for years. Co-founder Hillary Peckham was thrilled that the company could finally open an adult-use store after eight years. Etain cut the ribbon for the new store on March 1 to celebrate Women’s History Month. The Mayor of White Plains was in attendance and is very supportive of legal dispensaries in his city. Many Westchester County municipalities have opted out of dispensaries, but Mayor Roach believes a legal store will drive out the unlicensed operators.

Etain is owned by Riv Capital (OTC: CNPOF).

A new dispensary opened in Long Island City this weekend called NYC BUD. Instead of opting for the austere, minimalist look of the “Apple” store, which has been the trend for dispensaries, NYC BUD chose to lean into New York City culture. The store’s logo and interior pay homage to the New York City subway. The store also features graffiti artists and displays the product inside a train car. While off the beaten path, NYC Bud plans to have numerous events featuring artists and DJs to make it a destination dispensary. Make sure the ‘mind the closing doors’ when leaving.

It’s the first social justice applicant to open a dispensary in New York since the judge lifted the freeze on the adult-use cannabis program. Jennifer Tzar, the Chief Executive Officer of Dagmar Cannabis, had been arrested for cannabis down the street from her new store in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Unlike other dispensaries that have chosen the “Apple store” look, Dagmar has the luxurious feel of a designer store. Dark, cozy and with a nod toward the female customer, Dagmar is different in approach as well as style.

New York social justice cannabis applicant Roland Connor opened his Manhattan dispensary in the Village to great fanfare at the beginning of the year. However, it was only a temporary store.

Nine weeks ago, the dispensary shut down for a total renovation that cost $1.4 million and was constructed by Temeka. Smacked is expected to officially reopen in two weeks.

Among the developments for the newly renovated store is the consumption lounge that is planned to take up residence in the building’s basement.

Just like the old days when cannabis was illegal and Manhattanites got their weed from a guy in a van, Doobie launched a new delivery service that brings products from the licensed Union Square Travel Agency to customers within 60 minutes.

Since there are few licensed operations in the city, many customers may not be near such a store. Doobie also plans to expand into other boroughs.
