SLANG Worldwide’s subsidiary CeresMED will open in Burlington on Saturday.
At least three Vermont stores will begin selling adult-use cannabis on Oct. 1: CeresMED in Burlington, Mountain Girl Cannabis in Rutland, and FLORA in Middlebury. Several more retailers are expected to follow soon.
According to a news release from SLANG Worldwide (CNSX: SLNG) (OTCQB: SLGWF), its subsidiary CeresMED will launch recreational marijuana sales at its 190 College Street location on Oct. 1.
VT Digger reported that Mountain Girl Cannabis in Rutland and FLORA Cannabis in Middlebury are also slated to launch sales on Saturday.
The Oct. 1 launch will see SLANG’s fourth cannabis shop in the state go live, along with its three medical dispensaries in South Burlington, Middlebury, and Brattleboro. SLANG acquired these last year when it bought Hi Fidelity, which runs the Ceres Collaborative Cannabis Group.
Vermont is the 15th state marijuana market that SLANG has entered so far, according to the release.
The trio may be the first to open, but they won’t be the last. Other stores plan on launching as soon as they can get their affairs in order, the Burlington Free Press reported.
Burlington retailers Bern Gallery, Green State Gardener, Green Leaf Central, and Grass Queen all hope to open in the coming weeks or months. Magic Mann in Essex, the Free Press reported, is still aiming for October.
On Wednesday, the Vermont Cannabis Control Board awarded 13 new permits for ten additional growers, two manufacturers, and a lone retailer: Bud Barn in Brattleboro, which VT Digger reported may be open by Oct. 17.
In addition, the new market is attracting out-of-state interest from companies such as Massachusetts-based Theory Wellness, which said in a press release Thursday that it also plans to enter the market in Brattleboro.
Though Theory’s location is still under construction and an opening date has yet to be announced, the company expects to open this autumn.
