Denver’s dispensary scene continues to morph, with a handful of longtime stores changing names or closing altogether.
The LaConte’s dispensary on Seventh Avenue closed in March after a developer bought the block, which was also home to the now-closed City Bakery Cafe. This was the second store in Capitol Hill owned by Pure Greens to close within the last year; the Salida-based group shut the Mile High Green Cross dispensary last May. (The LaConte’s store at 5194 Washington Street is still open.)
Denver Dispensary, another seasoned dispensary with a decade-long history, has closed. So has Mammoth Farms, a southwest Denver dispensary that served as a flagship store for a wholesale grower of the same name.
It’s not all gloomy news, though: Snaxland and Spark both expanded into new stores in April, and Best High, a new dispensary operation, opened in east Denver.
There were a handful of other recent local marijuana business moves, including a couple of dispensary rebrands and two new mobile weed lounges. Find them all below:
