Stash's Chicago Expansion
Originally an Ace Hardware building, the 10,000-square-foot space at 9545 W 167th Street, Orland Hills, IL 60487, is Stash's debut location in the Chicago area.
This move, per a report, was part of Stash's strategic expansion, eyeing the potent tourism sector in the region.
The report added that Stash is staying at Orland Hills. Plans for a subsequent location in Peru and a grand 12,000-square-foot cannabis lounge at the Orland Hills venue are underway and will materialize by year-end.
“We are also actively considering the northwest and southeast suburbs within the greater Chicago area as potential future locations,” said Stash CEO Matthew Longo, per the report. “These areas have been identified based on extensive market research and analysis.”
While Chicago remains its primary focus, Stash envisions a broader horizon, with expansions to other bustling markets on the cards.
