CANTON — The former Salveo Health & Wellness marijuana dispensary is set to be ready to sell in time for the legalization of recreational adult use on Jan. 1.

Being rebranded as RISE Canton, the store’s general manager, Scott Miller, said the medical use dispensary will stay as is.

A 4,000 square foot expansion, costing $450,000, will house the recreational marijuana side of the business. The expansion took about four months and included primarily local labor.

The medical and recreational sides will be separate for clients but will connect on the inside for employees. It is housed at 3104 N. Main St. in Canton, the former Four Seasons bowling alley.

Miller said the doors to RISE will open at 7 a.m. Jan. 1, the day recreational marijuana becomes legal in Illinois. The business will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; those hours will continue the first week of 2020.

“We think it’s going to be pretty crazy,” Miller said of opening day. “We’re excited.”

Those wanting to purchase marijuana must be at least 21 years of age and have proper identification, such as a state-issued ID or driver’s license.

Miller said their menu features 150 different products in forms such as flowers/buds, concentrated wax and oil, candies, chocolate bars and gummy bears.

Clients will be limited to how much product they can purchase at one time per Illinois possession limits.

For Illinois residents

•30 grams of cannabis flower

•5 grams of cannabis concentrate

•500 milligrams of THC contained in a cannabis-infused product or

For non-Illinois residents

•15 grams of cannabis flower

•2.5 grams of cannabis

•250 milligrams of THC contained in a cannabis-infused product

The limits for medicinal-use patients will stay as it has been for the past four years.

Regular hours for RISE Canton will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

In May earlier this year, Salveo merged with Green Thumb Industries, which is one of the largest companies in the marijuana business. They have a presence in 12 states, with their first, and currently most popular store, being located in Mundelein, Illinois.

“We did that to make sure we could keep up with demand,” explained Miller.

Linda Marsicano, Vice President of Communications for Green Thumb, said that RISE Canton will be one of few stores in the central Illinois area that will be open in time for recreational marijuana’s legalization.

“We absolutely love to be in the community there and will continue to be a part of it,” Marsicano said.
