Mavuno plans Cleveland cannabis dispensary opening on St. Patrick’s Day, expanding its Northeast Ohio footprint

A new retail cannabis storefront is slated for Detroit Avenue in Gordon Square

Mavuno, an Ohio-based cannabis retailer that began operations in Athens, is preparing to open a new dispensary in Cleveland timed to St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2026. The planned Cleveland location is listed at 5808 Detroit Ave. in the Gordon Square area, a West Side neighborhood known for its concentration of arts, dining and small businesses.

The Cleveland storefront is part of a broader Northeast Ohio expansion first outlined by the company in 2025, when it announced plans to add dispensaries in Cleveland and South Euclid. The company’s public materials indicate its headquarters office is in Cleveland, while its operating dispensary is in Athens at 711 W. Union St.

How the opening fits Ohio’s cannabis market

Ohio voters approved adult-use cannabis in 2023, and the state subsequently created a regulatory structure overseen by the Division of Cannabis Control within the Ohio Department of Commerce. The legal framework includes licensing, compliance oversight and enforcement mechanisms for adult-use operators, alongside the pre-existing medical marijuana system.

For consumers, the regulatory shift means access depends on whether a retailer is authorized for adult-use sales, medical sales, or both. Under Ohio’s structure, sales are limited to licensed dispensaries, and transactions are subject to age requirements and state purchase-limit rules.

What is known about Mavuno’s Cleveland location

Mavuno’s posted location information identifies the Cleveland dispensary as “opening soon” at 5808 Detroit Ave. The company has also described its Northeast Ohio entry as an expansion intended to serve both medical patients and adult-use customers, positioning the Cleveland shop as a neighborhood retail site rather than a cultivation or processing facility.

Commercial real-estate marketing for the Detroit Avenue address has also listed Mavuno among selected tenants, indicating the property has been positioned for multi-tenant commercial use in the Gordon Square corridor.

Key details consumers should expect to encounter

• Age and identification requirements for adult-use purchases at licensed dispensaries.

• Separate rules and documentation for medical marijuana patients, including state registration requirements.

• State compliance measures tied to product tracking, labeling and point-of-sale controls.

The planned St. Patrick’s Day opening places a cannabis retail launch on one of Cleveland’s busiest celebration dates, when pedestrian activity and neighborhood events typically rise across the city.

What remains unclear

While the opening date and Cleveland address have circulated publicly, details such as final licensing status at launch, store hours, and the initial product menu have not been fully documented in public-facing regulatory records within the materials reviewed for this report. Additional clarity is expected as state and company listings are updated closer to March 17.

For Cleveland, the opening signals continued normalization of regulated cannabis retail inside city limits as the state’s adult-use market matures and more operators seek high-visibility neighborhood corridors.
