On Oct. 16, the leading cannabis brand STIIIZY opened its latest retail store in Pacheco, CA., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, city officials, food trucks, and more to celebrate the recent establishment.

The vertically integrated company behind STIIIZY, Shryne Group, now has 20 retail stores thanks to their latest opening in Pacheco and is ready to continue taking California’s cannabis market by storm.

They’ve created a substantial following around the state, especially after the market research firm BDSA crowned STIIIZY as the #1 cannabis brand in California and the #3 selling brand in the nation.

This is a massive leap for the Los Angeles-bred company. In 2019, Shryne Group had one shop and 150 employees, and today, they’ve accumulated 20 shops with over 2,500 employees. There are two main reasons why Shryne Group continues to expand.

First is the loyal fanbase and following built around STIIIZY’s lifestyle brand and their classic go-to pods. The second reason is the company’s dedication to making quality cannabis accessible to 60% of California’s cities that don’t allow cannabis retailers.

This has left far too many people without access to legal cannabis, which results in those communities finding and purchasing cannabis in unregulated ways.

“Our goal at Shryne and STIIIZY is to bring safe and affordable cannabis to every Californian,” said Jon Avidor, Shryne Group CEO. “And we believe that if we’re successful in our mission, STIIIZY will someday be synonymous with cannabis in the same way that Nike is synonymous with shoes and Red Bull is synonymous with action sports.”
