EVART, MI -- A marijuana dispensary in Osceola County’s Evart plans to open its doors to recreational customers Friday, Dec. 6.

Lit Provisions, 600 W. 7th St., 231-515-1600, will join four other businesses, three in Ann Arbor and one in Morenci near the Ohio border, that have already begun selling recreational marijuana and marijuana products.

Lit Provisioning Center is part of a larger company, Lume Cannabis Company, which operates a 12,000-plant grow facility in Evart, another medical dispensary in Kalamazoo and has plans to eventually add nine retail locations across Michigan.

“Our No.1 priority is providing safe, high-quality cannabis products to patients and recreational consumers across Michigan,” Lume COO and President Doug Hellyar said. “Our commitment to customer service and customer education drives our decision making and philosophy and we are excited to provide our customers with an amazing experience on our first day and every day going forward.”

The store is expected to be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday.

Product information is available on the Lit Provisioning Centers website.

“At Lume, our goal is to be Michigan’s best cannabis operator and most trusted source on all things cannabis,” Hellyar said in a prepared statement. “Every cannabis consumer is looking for a different experience and our broad range of high-quality products allows us to meet the unique needs of any customer and provide an unparalleled customer experience.”
