Planet 13, a multistate cannabis company, is on track to open one of its first retail cannabis dispensaries in Illinois, located in Suburban Waukegan. 

The decision comes as the company is looking to tailor its adult-use cannabis products to customers from the North Chicago Suburb, where they currently hold a dispensary license, according to a local press release. 

Planet 13 also holds licenses in Las Vegas and California and recently expanded its business to Florida to build out “neighborhood model” stores. But since the state has a smaller footprint to cater exclusively to medicinal-use patients, the company will now expand its store operations to the Midwest. 

Bob Groesbeck, the co-CEO of the SuperStore model, says, “We couldn’t have a better spot to place our dispensary off the major interstate between Milwaukee and Chicago.” 

He also hopes for a more disciplined and patient approach, affordable pricing, cash management, and creating one-of-a-kind retail destinations designed to thrill their valued customers.

Ep51 - The Little Engine That Could

Tim Aumiller and Scott Schneider of NO HOPE share thoughts on musicals, culture and the 16+ year collaborative journey of their barely-on-life support writing careers and creative endeavors. They formed NO HOPE Productions in 2003 when they presented their first musical DOSE! at the East Village’s Kraine Theatre. Since, they have written five full-length musicals and presented more than a dozen evenings of new music including SIREN/KINGS and PULLING THE PLUG at the legendary Joe’s Pub and THE YEAR AFTER at The Green Room 42. Their musical HELLO, MY NAME IS BILLY was a Backstage Critic’s Pick and a FringeNYC award winner. On film, their song “Fools Like You” was featured in the acclaimed documentary ACTRESS; you can also find their music video “Evolution” featuring Siren on YouTube. The NO HOPE Songbook Volume I: 2003-2013, which includes their MAC Award nominated “So Many Reasons” can be purchased on their website nohopeproductions.com. Recently they received a Fruitie award for Outstanding One Act at the Fresh Fruit Festival for their first consensual cannibal musical, ONCE BEGUN.
