C3 Industries, a multi-state, cannabis company headquartered in Ann Arbor, has opened its latest High Profile dispensary at 20327 Groesbeck Hwy. in Detroit. The new location brings to 13 the number of dispensaries the company has in Michigan, and 20 nationwide.
High Profile Detroit opens in partnership with Najanava Harvey-Quinn, founder and managing director of the Clean Smoke Community Investment Project. Harvey-Quinn’s nonprofit is committed to reducing the economic impact of the War on Drugs in black and brown communities by providing entrepreneurial support and employment assistance.
The dispensary offers a curated cannabis experience with deli-style flower service. The retail location’s team of budtenders are trained to help customers sort through an assortment of cannabis products and accessories, including vape cartridges, disposable vape pens, infused chocolates and gummies, premium flower, and pre-rolls from C3’s premium Cloud Cover brand and more.
“We are proud to re-establish our retail presence in the Detroit metro area, especially in partnership with Najanava Harvey-Quinn, an incredible force for change in our community,” says Ankur Rungta, co-founder and CEO of C3. “For decades, the Motor City has been known as a hub of innovation and creativity. With our modernized in-store experience, premier customer service and high-quality Cloud Cover products, we aim to add a new dimension to Michigan’s growing cannabis market.”
C3 also announced that it is working with California-based Kiva Confections to expand its brand into the Missouri market via an exclusive licensing partnership.
“We’re absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to bring our house of brands into the burgeoning Missouri market and partner with a like-minded company like C3,” says Kristi Palmer, co-founder of Kiva Confections. “We can’t wait for consumers to discover our premium, precisely-dosed, and delicious suite of edibles that so many across the U.S. and Canada have come to trust and love.”
C3’s Rungta says, “Our partnership with Kiva, one of the country’s most popular cannabis brands, is a testament to our expert manufacturing and distribution capabilities and another important milestone for C3. Missouri is one of the fastest-growing cannabis markets in the country, and we are excited to bring Kiva’s high-quality portfolio of edible products to medical patients and adult-use customers throughout the state.”
