Chesterfield Welcomes First Recreational Cannabis Dispensary with JARS Cannabis Grand Opening

Last week, JARS Cannabis celebrated the grand opening of its latest outlet in Chesterfield Township, marking the establishment of Macomb County's third JARS location. The event featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting attended by members of the township's Board of Trustees and representatives from the Anchor Bay and Southeast Michigan chambers of commerce.

The new 3,100-square-foot retail space is Chesterfield's inaugural recreational cannabis dispensary. Launched in February, this venue is part of the Troy-based company's expansion, being its 21st store in Michigan. The opening ceremony offered an array of activities including a food truck, exclusive giveaways, and significant discounts of 30% storewide, underlining JARS Cannabis's commitment to nurturing an informed and inclusive cannabis community in the area.

The dispensary boasts a comprehensive product range, including a wide variety of flowers, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates, topicals, and tinctures, catering to different customer preferences and price points. Additionally, it provides convenient shopping options such as curbside pickup and delivery services.

Historically, Chesterfield Township was among the numerous Michigan localities that opted out of issuing cannabis licenses following the statewide legalization of recreational cannabis in 2018. However, a successful petition initiated four years later swayed local opinion. The resulting referendum saw 57% of voters, from a total of 20,700 participants, supporting the legal sale and distribution of cannabis.

JARS Cannabis asserts that its operations contribute significantly to the local economy by generating employment opportunities and increasing tax revenues, thereby enhancing Chesterfield Township's economic landscape.
