AKRON,
Ohio, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Klutch Cannabis, one of the Midwest's premier
vertically integrated cannabis companies, announced the award of
two new Provisional Dispensary Licenses from the Ohio Division of
Cannabis Control, one each in Cuyahoga and Summit Counties. The award stems from the
settlement of three dispensary application appeals originally filed
against the Ohio Board of Pharmacy
and marks the end of almost 6.5 years of litigation for the
company.
"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the
leadership and staff of the Division of Cannabis Control, who have
endeavored to amicably resolve these cases despite undertaking a
mountain of work readying the state for its new Adult Use Program,"
said Klutch Founder and CEO Adam
Thomarios. "We are thrilled to be able to finally put these
cases behind us and are ready to get to work preparing these stores
for our patients and future adult use customers."
The first store to receive a Provisional Dispensary License will
be located at 300 East Prospect Avenue in Cleveland. Vacant for almost 20 years, the
site is famous for being the former home of the legendary Record
Rendezvous, where one-time owner Leo
Mintz first coined the term "Rock and Roll" and planned what
is now considered to be the first rock and roll concert with
Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed. Klutch, which is known for
creating what the Global Cannabis Times has called some of
the "coolest dispensaries in the world," feels it's time to return
the location to its former glory.
"Our future flagship location has such a legendary story and
unbelievable cultural significance to Cleveland. Without Record Rendezvous, there
would be no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. While the store will look and feel
like a Klutch store, we are also making sure the finished
product pays homage to its unique musical heritage," said
Thomarios.
The second store to receive a Provisional Dispensary License
will be located at 10650 Northfield Road in Northfield Village across the street from the
MGM Northfield Park Racino, where it is uniquely positioned to
serve Northern Summit County and
surrounding communities. Both sites are anticipated to be online
within the coming months.
At the same time, Klutch also announced a planned
rebranding of its dispensaries from "The Citizen by Klutch"
to "Klutch Cannabis." More details on the change will come
this fall once Adult Use rules are finalized. For now, those
