Connecticut Receives More Than 37,000 Cannabis Business License Applications Ahead of Final Deadline

Element 7, a California-based cannabis operator, has opened three new locations in Mendota, Willits and Chula Vista, expanding its retail presence to 12 dispensaries in California.

Element 7 Founder and CEO Robert DiVito, said in a press release the company is “proud” to expand its retail footprint in California. 

According to the release, all three locations will carry brands and products from large and small cultivators and manufacturers in California.

“The menu we have selected for the three stores includes some of the state’s leading brands like West Coast Cure, Jeeter, Wyld, Kiva, Raw Garden, Alien Labs, Himalaya, and Pamos, as well as local craft cannabis brands from across California,” DiVito said. “We’re especially proud to deliver on our promise of bringing craft brands like RoadTrip, NuhTopia, Dewpoint Farms, Lucy Goosey, Terp Mansion, and Arcata Fire from our operations in Central and Northern California—that’s not just smart for business, but it’s helping small farmers in these communities take their products south to other parts of California, which has been a driving force in our company vision since we started in 2018.” 

The company is also focused on creating an inviting retail environment at all its locations, as well as educating, entertaining and engaging customers.

“We’ve tried to create an immersive retail environment that is different to what the rest of the market is doing,” DiVito said. “We want to be disruptive both in our approach to how we manage our operations, how we deliver value in competitive markets and the immersive experience we deliver to our customers.”

The company also has plans to open five additional retail locations in Napa City, Moreno Valley, Oakland, San Francisco and Fresno by the end of the year, according to the release.
