Gelato Cannabis

What Gelato Cannabis does

Gelato Cannabis (legal entity Pure X LLC) is a privately held multi-state cannabis operator founded in 2022 and headquartered operationally in Michigan, with active distribution in California, Michigan, and Arizona following its February 2026 acquisition of California cannabis operations. The company produces and sells a broad consumer packaged goods-style cannabis portfolio that includes premium flower, pre-rolls (including diamond-infused and kief-coated Lolli's), 90%+ THC vaporizer cartridges and all-in-one disposables, non-CRC concentrates, and a growing edibles line spanning gummies, chocolate cones (Last Bite), Dubai Chocolate, cereal-infused balls (First Bite), infused cooking oil (Drizzle), and co-branded THC cookies (Fat & Weird Cookies). It also sells the Baller Brush, a brush-tip applicator device containing 2 grams of high-potency distillate, positioning it as a novel consumable hardware SKU. Products are sold exclusively through licensed dispensaries across its three states, with the Fat & Weird Cookies collaboration distributed exclusively through licensed cannabis stores in Michigan. The company runs supporting brand channels on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X, and operates a separate branded apparel e-commerce storefront at gelatodrip.com.

The business model is direct-to-consumer via retail partners: Gelato manufactures or sources its product lines and sells wholesale to licensed dispensary networks (Jars Cannabis, Mint Cannabis, Ponderosa Dispensaries, and others), which then retail to adult-use consumers. Pricing is unit-based, with disclosed examples around $15 for a 200mg THC Fat & Weird Cookies package and 200mg THC packages across several edible formats; most other SKUs are priced at dispensary discretion and not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a multi-state operator with separate licensing entities per state (including California license C11-0001454-LIC) and has no disclosed institutional funding, no public listing, and no disclosed headcount.

Leadership was refreshed in February 2026, with Chris Hindo appointed Chief Executive Officer and Lawrence Dawood appointed Chief Operating Officer to lead the newly unified California, Michigan, and Arizona organization. Strategic priorities visible in the source material are geographic consolidation (the California acquisition), product innovation (Baller Brush, Drizzle, Dubai Chocolate), and exclusive brand collaborations (Fat & Weird Cookies), positioning Gelato as a lifestyle-oriented MSO rather than a commodity flower producer.
