Unity Rd. is the first national cannabis dispensary franchise in the United States. At Unity Rd., we are champions of the small business owner, clearing a path to opportunity in one of the most intimidating industries to date.

Though people have turned to cannabis for its beneficial properties for centuries, the legal cannabis industry is still very young - clocking in at less than 30 years old. And while some are just now realizing the power of cannabis, we have been hard at work redefining what it takes to be successful in the industry.

It's no secret that the opportunity in legal cannabis is lucrative and has long attracted large corporations with millions to invest, but we believe small business owners bring even more to the table. That's why we've saved you a seat. Between building strong cultures, hiring local talent and generating crucial, localized revenue, everyday entrepreneurs are the heart and soul of the cannabis industry - and we aim to keep it that way.

Since day one, our team has set out on a mission to keep dispensary ownership local. It's this vision for the industry that has motivated us for years while we developed a franchise model strong enough to grow across the country. Now, entrepreneurs can invest in peace of mind, leaning on our time-tested systems to navigate an industry that changes by the day, freeing up our franchise partners to focus on what matters most - their communities.

With Unity Rd., there are no unknowns - it's our job to have your back. Our team's combined 200 years of experience in legal cannabis and franchising allows us to help hardworking, passionate leaders operate their dispensary, all while pumping that money back into the community that generated it in the first place.

Community-driven and community-run. That is Unity Rd.

Ideal Franchise Partner

Our ideal franchise partners are passionate about the benefits that their Unity Rd. shop can bring to their neighbors, and are committed to helping the local community thrive. From providing convenient access to cannabis for medical patients to generating more tax dollars and creating new jobs, our team is looking for like-minded trailblazers who want to have a positive and lasting impact on the local communities that welcome Unity Rd.

Besides sharing a passion for building better communities and the drive to move the entire cannabis industry forward, our franchise partners need to be financially qualified. Current restrictions on traditional lending mean candidates must have access to at least a million dollars in liquid capital to open a Unity Rd. cannabis dispensary.

Our franchise partners may be owner-operators or passive owners with a designated, experienced manager running operations, but even before we welcome you to the Unity Rd. family, we'll want to be sure we are aligned and you are prepared to dive into the exciting, yet challenging cannabis industry.
