Historical and Cultural Inspiration

Brady Cobb said in the release, "Panama City Beach holds a special place in my family and Operation Sunburn's history, and I am thrilled to open our 14th location in the same town that my father and his crew had some of their most intriguing offloads" (Sunburn Cannabis, 2024).
