Two south-side cannabis dispensaries launched in 2023 recently shut their doors.
Crave Cannabis had hopes of opening the city’s first consumption lounge from their Research Park Dr. facility, but those plans never bore fruit. (In the meantime, Jungle House on S. Ashley became the only local spot we’re aware of where customers can spark up on-site.) Crave maintains a dispensary in Monroe, and another is slated for Battle Creek.
The other closure is Butter on State Cir. Amid strong industry headwinds, their vertically integrated lifestyle brand apparently couldn’t stand pat—the Pittsfield Twp. shop and another in Berkley are shuttered, and their web presence is inactive.
Though closed for business, both Crave and Butter have active retail licenses, which is noteworthy given that Michigan distributes excise tax revenue to municipalities, counties, and tribes based on their number of licensees as of September 30.
