Bloom Cannabis Dispensaries

What Bloom Cannabis Dispensaries does

Bloom Cannabis Dispensaries is a privately held, family-founded cannabis retail operator that runs dual-licensed dispensaries across Ohio and Maryland, serving both registered medical marijuana patients (18+) and adult-use customers (21+) from a unified retail platform. Founded in 2014 by siblings Nicole Stark and William Hollander, their father Nate Hollander, and family friend Peter Turco, the company operates among the earliest entrants in both Maryland (since 2018) and Ohio (since 2019), rebranding from Bloom Medicinals to Bloom Cannabis in 2023 to reflect its expanded dual-service model. Bloom runs 7 open dispensaries across Ohio — Akron, Athens, South Columbus, West Columbus, Massillon, Painesville, and Seven Mile — with an 8th North Columbus location in pipeline, plus a single Germantown, Maryland store; all locations operate 8 AM to 10 PM daily and share a 900+ product catalog spanning flower, vapes, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, gear, terpenes, and apparel.

The retail platform is anchored by the proprietary Wondergrove house cannabis brand developed in partnership with Ohio cultivators, complemented by exclusive Ohio retail partnerships with celebrity-founded brands Khalifa Kush (Wiz Khalifa) and Belushi's Farm (Jim Belushi). Customer-facing technology consists of iOS and Android mobile applications enabling online ordering, menu browsing, and loyalty point management, plus a website powered by Storyblok CMS with same-day express pickup (~5 minutes) at all locations; in-store payment integrations include Dutchie Pay and standard Google/Apple SSO for account login. Bloom Rewards, the company's loyalty program, offers up to 5% back in points on purchases, with double points for new members during their first 30 days and 300 free points for app downloads with push opt-in.

Bloom's revenue model is retail transaction-based across two primary customer segments — Ohio Medical Marijuana Patients (tax-exempt, higher purchase limits) and Adult-Use Customers (subject to 10% excise tax plus sales tax). Pricing incorporates tiered discounts including 30% off for veterans and low-income medical patients and 15% off for adult-use shoppers. The company is independently owned by its founding family with no disclosed institutional investment, operates between 251 and 500 employees, and has served over 350,000 cumulative customers while accumulating 12,000+ Google reviews. All Ohio operations are dual-licensed by the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC). Distribution is direct-to-consumer only through physical retail and in-store pickup; cannabis delivery is not currently offered, which the company attributes to Ohio state regulations.
