Lume Cannabis

What Lume Cannabis does

Lume Cannabis Co. (legal entity Lume Cannabis, Inc.) is a vertically integrated cannabis operator headquartered in Troy, Michigan, founded in 2019. The company operates 38 retail dispensary locations across Michigan — self-described as the state's largest cannabis retailer — serving both adult-use recreational consumers (21+) and medical patients. Lume runs a direct-to-consumer omni-channel model combining physical retail, online ordering with in-store and curbside pickup, and delivery in select markets. Its product portfolio spans approximately 901 SKUs across cannabis flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles, topicals, CBD, and cannabis-infused beverages, including proprietary branded lines such as Gold Label Live Rosin (solventless ice-water extraction), the Rip Pod System (proprietary vaporizer hardware), AMP'D Infused Flower, Blackout Flower (dark-cured strains stored at 20°C in hermetically sealed glass), Lume Effect Gummies (six outcome-based formulations: Dream, Unwind, Focus, Move, Center, Recover), and BUZZN THC Seltzer (7.5mg THC sparkling beverages).

The business is structured around a vertically integrated cultivation, extraction, and manufacturing platform paired with a Michigan-only retail footprint. Input supply is balanced between Lume's own cultivation and curated partnerships with Michigan boutique growers (Society C, Michigrown, Doghouse Farms, Classic Roots, Freedom Green) plus third-party brand partners (Jeeter, Wyld, Mitten Extracts, Swisher, Cali-Blaze). Pricing is unit-based with frequent bundle promotions (e.g., 2/$25 gummies, 2/$35 infused 5-packs, $14 1/8ths, $79 select ounces). The loyalty program (Lume Cannabis Rewards) ramps new-customer discounts from a free shake ounce on first visit to 40% off the second visit and 50% off the third, designed to drive repeat purchase frequency. The company has 1,001-5,000 employees, is privately held, has no disclosed institutional investors (the only disclosed fundraise is a $9M round on 2021-02-09 with undisclosed investors), and operates under the leadership of founder Dave Morrow. Reported brand signals include a 4.7-star average Google rating across dispensary locations and consistent cultivation of high-THC strains reaching 30% or more.
