Grand Rapid’s first locally-owned recreational marijuana shop is holding a drive-through grand opening this weekend.
Pharmhouse Wellness, on Wealthy St. SW in Grand Rapids, has been in operation as a dispensary for medical cannabis. It’s now expanding into recreational sales.
It’s also the first store to open with help from the city’s Cannabis Social Equity policy, which offers discounts on licensing fees for applicants who meet certain requirements.
