🎃✨ Illuminating Downtown & Celebrating Halloween! 🎃✨

​We wanted to make sure you couldn't miss us after dark, so we officially got new lights installed right above our sign! A huge thank you to Cossette Electric for doing a fantastic job with the installation. The storefront is looking sharper than ever!

​We’re also super excited to participate in the Downtown Halloween Candy Crawl this Saturday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM! Bring the kids by for some awesome treats, say hi to the crew, and check out the latest progress on our building exterior. We can't wait to see all the great costumes! 🍬👻

Shoutout to the City of Fergus Falls! 👏

​We want to send a huge thank you to the City of Fergus Falls for redoing the parking lot right behind Elevate! 🅿️✨ Having fresh, easy, and convenient parking directly behind our building is going to make visiting us so much smoother once we open our doors.

​While we’re continuing to work through the final state regulatory and licensing steps, seeing local updates like this gets us even more excited for opening day. We are using this time to make sure every detail inside and outside the shop is 100% ready for you.

​Thank you to Fergus Falls for investing in our downtown area and supporting local small businesses—we can’t wait to welcome you all in soon! 🌿🚗

It Takes a Village (And an Incredible Local Community!)

​As we keep moving closer to the finish line at Elevate, we took a look around today and realized just how many incredible local hands have helped shape this space. This project has truly been a labor of love, sweat, and community support!

​We wanted to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to the amazing local pros, creators, and crews who have put their time, skill, and heart into making this space look brand new:

​💡 Cassette Electric: Huge appreciation to the crew for getting all of our lighting and custom wiring dialed in!

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS... 😅💦

​Not everything during a renovation goes strictly according to plan, but sometimes you just have to laugh!

At one point during our build-out, we had a little unexpected drama on the sales floor when a hose busted open and ran for a full 10 minutes before anyone noticed.

Check out the video to see how we handled our sudden indoor water feature!

We can't wait to open our doors—and hopefully, it won't be a swim-up counter!

🚨 BREAKING SCOTUS RULING 🚨

In a major 9-0 unanimous decision today, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot automatically strip cannabis users of their Second Amendment rights!

The case (U.S. v. Hemani) involved a Texas man who faced federal gun charges simply because he was a regular ma*****na user, even though he wasn't accused of any violent behavior or being actively intoxicated while holding a weapon.

Writing for the Court, Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that with cannabis legal in over half the country, the government can't just assume millions of regular users are "categorically dangerous."

⚠️ Important Caveat: The ruling is relatively narrow. It doesn’t mean you can be actively high while carrying a fi***rm, and it doesn't entirely strike down the federal law for severe drug addiction. But it’s a massive shift in how the intersection of cannabis use and gun ownership is treated under the law.

What are your thoughts on this ruling? Drop them below! 👇

The court ruled that the law used to prosecute a ma*****na user violated his Second Amendment right to bear arms and is unconstitutionally vague.
