Legacy Cannabis Opens in Duluth as First State-Licensed Microbusiness With Product

The storefront sources inventory from White Earth Nation’s Waabigwan Mashkiki to showcase Minnesota’s microbusiness approach.

Overview

  • The Duluth shop opened at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday in the Lincoln Park neighborhood after earlier supply hurdles slowed non-tribal openings.
  • A tribal-state compact enabled Legacy to stock flower grown by White Earth Nation’s Waabigwan Mashkiki, which identified Legacy as its first state-licensed customer.
  • State regulators report 37 cannabis business licenses approved, including 23 for microbusiness retail, and say this is the first microbusiness to secure product for sale.
  • Tribal dispensaries have sold recreational cannabis for over a year, while this week the medical operators Green Goods and RISE began adult-use sales.
  • Waabigwan operates a 50,000-square-foot indoor grow and is managing heavy demand from prospective buyers with limited inventory.
