Ascend Wellness Holdings Expands in Ohio

On October 6, 2026, Ascend Wellness Holdings, Inc., better known as Ascend, revealed the exciting news of their newest dispensary opening in Lewis Center, Ohio, located at 3812 E Powell Rd. This move marks a significant milestone as the dispensary becomes the seventh location for Ascend in the state, further cementing their commitment to serving the Ohio cannabis market.

Ascend has been at the forefront of the cannabis industry as a multi-state, vertically integrated operator. The new dispensary opens its doors not only to medical marijuana patients but also to non-medical customers, emphasizing a commitment to accessibility and quality. While officially opening on October 9, 2026, the dispensary has already begun serving customers and is poised to cater to the growing demand for cannabis in the vicinity.

Sam Brill, the CEO of Ascend, expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter for the company. “We are excited to become a part of the Lewis Center community and expand access to medical and non-medical cannabis,” he said. With the aim of creating a welcoming and educational environment, Ascend's Lewis Center location intends to offer a diverse range of high-quality cannabis products, with an emphasis on providing a superior customer experience.

The grand opening event is not only a celebration of the new store but also an invitation for the local community to engage with the brand. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the local team and explore the extensive selection of products, including Ascend's own award-winning in-house brands, Ozone Reserve and Simply Herb. The dispensary will initially operate from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM until the grand opening event, after which it will transition to regular hours, operating daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Beyond just the sale of cannabis products, Ascend places a strong emphasis on fostering relationships within its communities. They prioritize education around cannabis to demystify the plant and its uses, particularly for those new to the market. By providing accessible information, they hope to enhance customer confidence and promote responsible consumption.

In total, Ascend now operates seven dispensaries across Ohio, including locations in Englewood, Cincinnati, Coshocton, Piqua, Sandusky, and Carroll. This strategic expansion aligns with their mission to improve accessibility to cannabis and improve the quality of their customers' experiences.

As the demand for cannabis products continues to rise across the United States, particularly in states where legalization has increased, Ascend's expansion seems well-timed. Their established reputation and ongoing commitment to high-quality products and customer service place them in a favorable position in a competitive market.
