MAVUNO EXPANDS FOOTPRINT TO NORTHEAST OHIO
CLEVELAND — Mavuno, an Ohio-based retail cannabis company, is expanding its presence in Northeast Ohio with the opening of two new dispensaries in Summer 2025 in Cleveland’s Gordon Square neighborhood and South Euclid. The opening of these two dispensaries will further the company’s commitment to providing a diverse selection of quality, lab-tested, Ohio-grown cannabis products to medical patients and adult-use, recreational customers.
Both locations were carefully selected to align with Mavuno’s vision of community engagement and economic growth. The Gordon Square dispensary is in a vibrant, urbanesque Cleveland neighborhood known for its strong sense of community, the arts, and commitment to supporting local businesses. The South Euclid dispensary is in an eastside suburban community with a proven track record of economic development. These two new dispensaries will add to an already well established Mavuno dispensary in Athens, Ohio.
With corporate headquarters based in Cleveland, Mavuno is owned by Ariane Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of the AKA Team, a construction management and self-performing construction company which she founded in 2009.
“Opening two new dispensary locations in my beloved hometown is a dream come true,” said Kirkpatrick. “As a die-hard Cleveland fan, from sports teams, to museums, to medical facilities, theaters, architectural landmarks, and community and state colleges, this expansion has been a long time coming and I couldn’t be prouder of our team. Our work within the cannabis industry in Northeast Ohio will allow us to continue to support local communities and provide close to 50 new full and part-time jobs, all while providing safe, high-quality products along with cannabis education, emphasizing health and safety considerations associated with its use.”
Each location will feature a distinctive theme centered around art, music, and education—integral influences of Kirkpatrick’s family of origin. “By incorporating these universal elements of culture, education and expression, we aim to provide more than just a dispensary, but an experience,” said Amonica Davis, Kirkpatrick’s sister and chief operating officer for Mavuno.
Kirkpatrick has engaged top Cleveland firms, many with proven experience in standing up dispensaries in Ohio, including Oliver Architecture with expertise in designing cannabis environments that allows the owner’s vision and authenticity to shine through structure; Bostwick Design Partnership who brings extensive experience in design and construction, Ambitious Ink Print Company which is more than a print shop, but where creativity and craftsmanship meet; and Goldfarb Weber Creative Media, a script to screen visual communications company that have been bringing stories to life for more than 50 years.
“We are opening cannabis retail dispensaries at home, no partners, just us, and the others, of which we have high regard, who may be regarded as the competition, but really, we’re all partners in this never dull, evolving close to a half-a-billion-dollar industry in Ohio, they not like us. We have one time to get our home opener right, it must be grand!” said Kirpatrick.
The official opening dates and addresses for both dispensaries will be announced in the coming weeks.

Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on May 5th, isn’t just about partying—it’s a special day that commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Although it’s often confused with Mexican Independence Day (which is actually celebrated on September 16th), Cinco de Mayo has become a vibrant celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, especially here in the United States.
Now that we’ve brushed up on a bit of history, let’s make sure your Cinco de Mayo is one for the books—and that starts with these must-have tips:
Start with a low dose and gradually increase, especially when trying new products. Keep in mind that edibles can take up to two hours to take full effect! If you’re still a little new to cannabis, consider opting for products with lower THC levels.
If your Cinco de Mayo plans include a night out on the town, make sure you have a designated driver who will not consume cannabis or alcohol. To ensure you have someone, agree ahead of time who will be the driver so everyone gets home safely.
Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day, especially in hot weather, by drinking plenty of water. Alternating between alcoholic beverages and water can also help prevent dehydration.
Pay attention to your body and take breaks as needed. If you start to feel overwhelmed, find a quiet and safe spot to relax and regroup. To avoid adverse effects, avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol or other substances.
When bringing cannabis products to an event, ensure they’re kept out of reach of children and pets. Use child-resistant packaging and store easily accessible items in a lockable container to keep every person (and pet) safe.
Make sure to take proactive steps to keep yourself and those around you safe. Keep up with good hygiene habits like washing your hands regularly, and if you can’t find a sink, don’t forget to reach for the hand sanitizer!
If you’re planning to spend your time outside, protect yourself from the sun using sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to ward off both UVA and UVB rays and reduce the risk of sunburn and skin damage. (Here’s a skin tip: remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours for maximum protection.)
Nobody wants their holiday festivities spoiled by feeling under the weather. Make sure to label foods and offer alternatives for guests with food allergies or dietary restrictions. If you can’t provide alternatives, give guests a heads-up beforehand so they can come prepared with their own snacks!
As the festivities wind down and it’s time to start cleaning, be sure to dispose of any leftover cannabis products properly. Check out local disposal guidelines to ensure everything gets thrown away safely and avoid any accidental ingestions.
If you’re experiencing any unpleasant side effects, don’t tough it out alone. Reach out for medical help if needed. And if you notice someone else showing concerning symptoms like a racing heart or confusion, don’t hesitate to call emergency services right away to make sure they get the care they need.
With these tips in mind, your Cinco de Mayo celebration is sure to be a hit, enjoyed responsibly with your loved ones and community. Who says you can’t have it all? From all of us at Mavuno, we wish you a celebration filled with joy, laughter, and good vibes!
As May blooms into full swing, it’s a perfect time to shed light on a condition that deserves attention: Huntington’s disease (HD). Let’s dive into what this qualifying condition is all about, explore the treatments available, and discover how each of us can play a part in spreading awareness.
Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month is an opportunity to support those affected and raise awareness of this challenging condition. By learning, supporting research, and participating in initiatives, we can make a difference in the lives of those impacted by HD and contribute to the search for effective treatments.

Let’s talk about the power of storytelling, especially when it comes to shedding light on medical conditions like ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). While ALS might not always grab the headlines in popular media, showcasing fictional characters grappling with the disease can be a powerful tool for raising awareness. This ALS Awareness Month, we’re diving into a particular portrayal of ALS in NBC’s TV series “Chicago Med.”
Lydia may have been a small character on “Chicago Med,” but her plot had a lasting influence on fans. Lydia’s path after being diagnosed with a rare form of the qualifying condition, called “bulbar ALS,” mirrored the real-life obstacles that people with ALS face. Despite her limited screen time, Lydia’s story added depth to the show and offered viewers a glimpse into the challenges of living with ALS.
Through Lydia’s character, we witnessed the highs and lows of her journey. As her condition progressed, Lydia experienced changes in her speech and sudden emotional outbursts, both of which were linked to the degeneration of brain cells associated with ALS.
According to healthline, about 30,000 people across the United States are grappling with ALS.1 Often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a rare condition that affects the nervous system, particularly the motor neurons that control muscle movement and breathing in the brain and spinal cord. Imagine facing challenges like struggling to chew and swallow, dealing with muscle cramps and twitches, or even feeling your speech falter. That’s the daily reality for many battling ALS.2
While Lydia’s storyline didn’t explicitly dive into it, “Chicago Med” subtly hinted at the evolving landscape of ALS treatment. Medical cannabis has emerged as a topic of interest in managing ALS symptoms such as muscle spasms and pain, and discussions about ALS in the media are able to raise awareness about potential alternative therapies.
Lydia’s journey allowed viewers to connect with the lived experience of ALS, encouraging empathy and understanding. As a community-based dispensary, we recognize the impact of these portrayals on fostering compassion and inclusion for people living with ALS.
The way ALS is shown in movies and TV isn’t just for people who already know about it. Sometimes, it can help those who might not even realize they have ALS. Seeing accurate and caring depictions on screen might make someone recognize symptoms they or their loved ones may be experiencing and search for medical advice. However, it’s crucial for media portrayals to be accurate and respectful. By ensuring authenticity in storytelling the media can play a vital role in educating and empowering individuals to recognize and address potential health concerns.
