Gage Cannabis has expanded accordingly by offering recreational marijuana at its flagship Ferndale location. Gage is committed to building a solid reputation by providing top-tier cannabis experiences for the rapidly growing Michigan market.
“We have been looking forward to this day since we opened our doors in September 2019,” said Gage Cannabis President and Executive Vice President of Operations Mike Finos. “We are excited to extend the Gage experience to anyone aged 21 and over. Metro Detroit is home to our biggest consumers, and we’re ready to provide the community with quality products and a unique customer experience.”
Recreational use of cannabis in Michigan was first legalized in 2018, and the state has since emerged as one of the fastest-growing legal cannabis markets in the country in terms of consumption. Revenue projections by state budget planners suggest that the recreational marijuana market will be worth nearly $1 billion in fiscal 2021 with the potential to increase to $1.5 billion by 2023 (

Sales bloomed during the COVID-19 lockdown period, nearly doubling to $11.9 million in Q2 from $5.8 million in Q1. The trend is expected to continue with management forecasting sales to surpass $13.1 million by the end of Q3 – an increase of over 150% from January to September 2020 (
