If you want to legally sell marijuana in Massachusetts s largest pro-weed community, the time for you to set up shop is running out.
Massachusetts weed hub, Worcester, is just 1 store away from hitting its self-imposed post shop limit of 15 retailers. A review of marijuana licenses and applications shows nowhere else in the state has more people seeking to open pot shops than Worcester.
Worcester s early designation as the center for the new marijuana industry seems to be holding steady. Overall, it s the Massachusetts community with the second most cannabis-business-related license applications filed with the Cannabis Control Commission.
WORCESTER - The License Commission on Thursday unanimously approved a minority-owned marijuana retailer s bid to open in the Ivy Corset Building, 40 Jackson St., subject to further approval from the state.
Corner Emporium LLC plans to operate the business in 3,600 square feet on the second floor of the three-story building, according to Mark A. Borenstein, a lawyer from Bowditch & Dewey, representing the applicant.
The business s proposed manager, Joseph Johnson, and chief financial officer Edry Jimenez, joined the lawyer during the virtual meeting.
Borenstein said the state Cannabis Control Commission had certified Corner Emporium as an economic empowerment business, a designation to promote equity and diversity in the community.
