"We always knew that if we ever opened a shop it would be in the East Village. It had to be.

Peaceful Provisions to Open Storefront in Beacon, New York | VegOut
“We want our store to be a collaborative space where we can work with other vegan businesses (especially pop-ups). We are one and understand the struggle to survive and grow.

A n empty space with an open-minded building owner in downtown Lee's Summit became the perfect spot to fulfill Native Hemp Co.'s potential, said Rich Dunfield.
Previously operating through online-only sales, the storefront opened in late December — the culmination of a years-long quest by Dunfield to launch a brick-and-mortar retail space.

Yolo supervisors discuss cannabis land use, business options – Daily Democrat
As the five-year process of developing the county’s Cannabis Land Use Ordinance comes to a close, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors held a workshop to discuss the guidelines.
The county has been working on an ordinance since March 2016, when the board adopted the Marijuana Cultivation Ordinance following the enactment of the California Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act.
