MedMen Sets October Opening for Its Second Las Vegas Location
MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen” or the “Company”) (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQB: MMNFF) announced today it has set the
opening date of its second store in Las Vegas for early October 2018. The MedMen Las Vegas Airport store is currently under
construction at 4503 Paradise Road, near popular landmarks such as the Hard Rock Hotel, the Thomas and Mack Center and McCarran
International Airport.
MedMen received land-use and zoning approval from the Clark County Board of County Commissioners late last month for the new
site. The Company expects to move an existing license to the location following customary state and local regulatory approvals.
MedMen Las Vegas Airport will be the Company’s second branded store in the tourist mecca. The first, MedMen Downtown Las Vegas,
is scheduled to open on July 18, 2018. Both stores will bring MedMen’s industry-defining retail experience to the resort city,
which receives an average of 40 million visitors each year. MedMen currently has plans for three stores in Las Vegas.
MedMen Las Vegas Airport is conveniently located near McCarran International Airport, one of the busiest in the country. The store will sport a 15 foot high neon sign and a 2,700-square-foot sales
floor capable of serving up to 75 customers at a time.
Nevada is one of the fastest growing state-sanctioned cannabis markets in the country. According to the Nevada Department of Taxation, cannabis accounted for about US$386 million of the total
statewide taxable sales for the period of July 2017 through March 2018, and accounted for approximately 19.3 percent of the state's
growth in taxable sales compared to the same period last year.
A leading cultivator, producer and retailer of state-sanctioned cannabis in the U.S., MedMen currently operates licensed
facilities in California, Nevada and New York. The Company recently announced its expansion into a fourth key market, Florida,
through a proposed acquisition of dispensary and cultivation assets from Treadwell Simpson Partnership and affiliates.
