Seed to sale: why the trade cares about two more stores

Cannabis Business Times ran the December announcement for operators, and the idea it carries is the one in the middle: a grower that runs its own shops.

The short version

Cannabis Business Times reported on December 16, 2025 that King City Gardens opened The Garden retail stores in Sycamore Township and Mansfield, Ohio. The story describes the company as a fully vertical Level 1 cultivator and retailer that handles cultivation, production and the customer experience.

One owner from seed to sale

  1. Cultivation

    Grown at the King City Gardens Level 1 grow in Forest Park.

  2. Production

    Processed and packed by the same company.

  3. Retail

    Sold at The Garden, next to other Ohio brands.

The cultivation, production and customer-experience chain as King City Gardens describes itself in the release Cannabis Business Times carried on December 16, 2025.

What Cannabis Business Times reported

For an industry reader, two more stores matter less than who runs them. The CBT story carries the company's description of itself as fully vertical: one owner from cultivation through production to the checkout.

These communities reflect the values we care about: accessibility, connection, and service

Caveh Azadeh, Co-founder, The Garden. Quoted in Cannabis Business Times.

That model is the pitch for both stores. The release CBT runs promises consistent quality, a menu built around King City flower, limited-edition drops and in-store exclusives, with drive-thru service at both locations.

It also states the plan plainly: these openings were the next phase, with more Ohio sites to come through 2026.
