[PRESS RELEASE] – STILLWATER, Minn., May 5, 2026 – Silver Therapeutics announced the opening of Stillwater’s first licensed cannabis dispensary at 1778 Greeley St. S, marking a new chapter for regulated cannabis access in the St. Croix Valley in Minnesota. The dispensary is now open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
As Minnesota’s adult-use cannabis market continues its rollout, the Stillwater location represents a meaningful local milestone, bringing a fully licensed retail experience to a city that previously had no regulated cannabis storefronts. The opening positions Stillwater among the growing number of Minnesota communities transitioning from limited hemp-derived offerings to fully regulated cannabis retail.
“We are so excited to be a new part of the community here in Stillwater,” General Manager Teresa Klettenberg said. “We’re introducing a new kind of cannabis retail experience that’s built on transparency, education and trust.”
Silver Therapeutics has hired seven employees locally for the new store and has joined the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, reinforcing its focus on becoming a long-term contributor to the local business community.
The Stillwater dispensary was built to feel open, approachable and inviting, a departure from the transactional retail environments that have historically defined the category. The space features a bright, welcoming layout anchored by a custom mural, with staff trained to guide customers through a range of products tailored to different comfort levels and preferences.
The store carries both low-dose hemp-derived products and full cannabis offerings, giving customers flexibility as they explore what works best for them.
“Our goal is simple,” Assistant General Manager Brent Stariha said. “Create a space where anyone can walk in, ask questions, and leave feeling informed and comfortable.”
Silver Therapeutics’ entry into Minnesota comes as the state works through the early stages of its regulated market, where strong consumer demand is currently outpacing supply due to testing and production bottlenecks.
Even with those early constraints, the company sees long-term upside in establishing a presence now.
“Minnesota is one of the most closely watched cannabis markets in the country right now,” co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Brendan McKee said. “Getting established early allows us to grow with the market and build real relationships in the communities we serve.”
