Grand Opening of South Dakota’s First Non-Tribal Medical Cannabis Establishment

Sep 23, 2022 - Sep 24, 2022

WHO: Unity Rd., the first true cannabis dispensary franchise in the U.S. Unity Rd.’s goal is to inspire confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all while keeping the door to dispensary ownership open to everyday entrepreneurs by empowering them with the proven business model, resources and ongoing support they need to operate a compliant and successful dispensary. Local shop owners of Unity Rd. in Hartford and South Dakota natives, B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgensen, are true believers in the power of cannabis and their top priority is to be able to educate their local community on the plant. Unity Rd. Hartford is patient card holders’ go-to local resource they can rely on to find the right medical cannabis products.

WHAT: The entrepreneurial duo along with the Unity Rd. team will be hosting a grand opening event for Unity Rd. Hartford, which is the first non-tribal, state-licensed medical cannabis establishment to open in South Dakota (officially opened July 27, 2022). The shop will have a ribbon cutting ceremony with Hartford’s Local Chamber of Commerce and Unity Rd. CEO Andrew Bowden on Friday, September 23 at 4:30 p.m. CT and a grand opening event open to the community on Saturday, September 24 from 12-6 p.m. CT with music, food trucks, giveaways, vendor pop-ups with some of the first cultivators in the state, a cannabis education session and time for media opportunities.
