ABOUT UNITY RD.
Your Neighborhood Cannabis Shop
We’re on a mission to elevate both the guest and franchise partner experience in the cannabis industry.
About Unity Rd.
Each shop is an elevated experience where the guest can lead their journey. Looking for a more hands-on experience, we’ve got people to help guide you every step of the way. Know what you’re looking for and just want to do your thing? We get that and we can take a step back and help when you’re ready.
Unity Rd. isn’t just a neighborhood shop, we are your neighbors— eager to cultivate wellness, enrich the lives around us, and nurture every community we serve. Unlike the corporate stronghold shops, we are proud to be local owners and operators. Our operating partners live, work, and play in the neighborhoods they open up and this means more goes back right into the very communities we serve.
As leaders, we come from all walks of life and points on the map. As leaders and entrepreneurs in the business, we have helped shape the industry with award-winning products and operational expertise.
Our exclusively inclusive community means people are always met with open arms, and we work tirelessly to promote a better more equitable future for all through cannabis. And at the end of the day, we’re here to serve our communities as we provide a trusted and consistent environment that inspires confidence in the benefits of cannabis for all.
This is a community at its peak—everyone rising together.
We are Unity Rd.
AN UNRIVALED FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

We’re here for the entrepreneurs, the family teams, the investors, and the friends who want the support of a seasoned dispensary brand that can help successfully open and operate in the industry.
That’s where we come in.

Pioneering the Cannabis Franchise Industry
Unity Rd. is bridging the two previously disconnected worlds of cannabis and franchising. As an industry trailblazer, we are the first to bring the cannabis dispensary franchise model to the United States—with the duality of prowess in both industries to back it up. Built-up from a collective 200 years in the legal cannabis industry and franchising, we help eager operators enter the complex industry with ease.
As the marijuana franchise pioneer, we offer our partners the knowledge, resources, and ongoing support needed to compliantly and successfully operate a dispensary. Launched in 2018, Unity Rd. has signed multiple agreements with more than 15 entrepreneurial groups across the country.
Recently, we were named one of the top cannabis retail leaders in the nation by MJBizDaily magazine and one of the "Best Cannabis Companies to Work For" in both the dispensary and cultivation categories in Cannabis Business Times' elite 2020 list. We are also the first cannabis business to earn a Franchise Times Dealmakers award.
