Ascend Wellness Holdings, Inc. on October 6, 2026, announced the opening of its newest Ohio dispensary at 3812 E Powell Rd in Lewis Center, Ohio. The store, the company’s seventh in the state, has begun serving medical patients and non-medical cannabis customers, with a grand opening event scheduled for October 9, 2026.

The Lewis Center store joins existing Ascend dispensaries in Englewood, Cincinnati, Coshocton, Piqua, Sandusky and Carroll. The company said the new location reinforces its commitment to providing high-quality products and an exceptional patient- and customer-focused retail experience.

“We are excited to become a part of the Lewis Center community and expand access to medical and non-medical cannabis,” said Sam Brill, Chief Executive Officer & Director of Ascend. “We are proud of what our team has built in Lewis Center, and we cannot wait for the community to see it for themselves.”

Ascend will host the grand opening on October 9, 2026, inviting patients, customers and members of the local community to explore the dispensary, meet the local team and learn about the company’s selection of cannabis products. Ahead of the event, the store operates from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Beginning October 9, regular hours will run from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily.

The company said the dispensary offers a wide selection of cannabis products from leading brands, including Ascend’s in-house brands Ozone Reserve and Simply Herb, which it describes as award-winning.

Store Menu and Opening Specials

The store’s online menu is organized into categories for flower, vaporizers, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates and accessories. Listings include Ascend’s in-house Ozone, Ozone Reserve and Simply Herb products alongside third-party brands such as Buckeye, Wana, Jeeter, King City Gardens and Edie Parker. A featured section highlights new Ozone 2-gram live resin disposable vaporizers; one listed item, the Ozone Sargent Strwbry PIXI live resin disposable, was priced at $81.00 for 2 grams, marked 10 percent off a $90.00 list price.

The menu offers separate shopping paths for recreational adult-use customers and for medical patients, with the medical path requiring a valid medical card.

Specials listed on the menu included five for $60 Ozone 100mg gummy packs, three for $75 Ozone and Simply Herb 1-gram distillate disposables, two for $92 Simply Herb 7-gram flower, 25 percent off Ozone 2-gram distillate PIXI disposables and gummies as well as Simply Herb 3.5-gram flower, 20 percent off Buckeye brands and 10 percent off featured October brands.

The store page also promotes sign-ups for the company’s Ascenders Club loyalty program and states that customers who receive a defective product can return it to the location of purchase, with original packaging and receipt, within 30 days.

Earlier Ohio Expansion

Ascend announced the opening of its Englewood, Ohio dispensary in a January 14, 2026, news release. Located at 7701 Hoke Road, that store began serving medical patients and non-medical customers the same day, ahead of a January 16 grand opening. The company said at the time that its other Ohio dispensaries were in Piqua, Cincinnati, Sandusky, Coshocton and Carroll.

The Englewood announcement described a modern retail layout designed for an efficient and welcoming shopping experience, with purchases available in-store or online for pickup, supported by a team of budtenders the company described as expertly trained. It also promoted the company’s free, revamped Ascenders Club loyalty program and said the Englewood store operates daily from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. “As Ohio’s cannabis market continues to take shape, expanding our retail presence allows us to better serve patients and customers across the state,” Brill said in that announcement.

Ascend Wellness Holdings is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the OTCQX under the symbol AAWH and describes itself as a multi-state, vertically integrated cannabis operator and consumer packaged goods company. The October 6 release lists Frank Perullo, the company’s founder, president and director, as company contact, with MATTIO Communications handling investor relations and media inquiries.
