Strong Cannabis Retail Expertise Leads to First Boutique CBD Store on Long Island
DENVER, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- General
Cannabis Corp (CANN) (the "Company"), the
comprehensive national resource to the regulated cannabis industry,
today announced May 13, 2019 as the opening date for the first of
its kind, curated, boutique CBD storefront located at 7 Northern
Blvd, in Greenvale Long Island, New York. Named STOA
Wellness, both the storefront and e-commerce platform will
focus on CBD wellness products for athletes, health conscious
consumers, and those who simply want to be at their physical
best.
"Providing an environment that not only educates about the healing properties of CBD, but is conducive to those who are serious about maintaining peak fitness and general wellness, is an exciting prospect," said Michael Feinsod, CEO of General Cannabis. “We at General Cannabis are now at the forefront of holistic wellness innovation, and with the help of our partners in both manufacturing and distribution, we look forward to establishing STOA Wellness as a strong, trusted, national retailer.â€
STOA Wellness features a large area dedicated to education and will be staffed by experienced athletes who understand how CBD can support pain relief, recovery, and general wellness. The store’s curated product range includes product options for what the Company has termed the "fitness inspired" – those who may not be running a marathon but are nevertheless in need of the anti-inflammatory or anti-anxiety benefits of CBD to reach their full potential.
“We believe that CBD products are not one size fits all. And wellness doesn’t have a single definition. We enjoy supporting elite athletes in finding the right product to use in their fitness regimen as much as we enjoy helping an elderly customer find the right topical for arthritic joints,†said Andrew Motola, General Cannabis’ Managing Director of retail. “We know CBD can feel intimidating. STOA Wellness’ selection of CBD products do more than enhance general wellbeing, they provide impactful recovery solutions,†he added. “We meticulously select brands and products that deliver results based on strict efficacy standards and demanding testing protocols, setting the bar high for what will set apart General Cannabis’ retail strategy in a rapidly evolving, hemp-derived CBD market.â€
