[PRESS RELEASE] – SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 – MWG Holdings Group Inc., a leading purpose-driven, locally-focused cannabis company with award-winning roots in the California medical and recreational markets, announced the upcoming ribbon-cutting and grand opening celebration of Perfect Union San Jose, expanding the company's retail footprint into one of California's largest and most competitive cannabis markets.
The opening also marks the culmination of years of collaboration and advocacy supporting local cannabis entrepreneurs, including early support through the California Grow Green program, then operated by the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian Chamber).
The new Perfect Union San Jose dispensary is located at 2220 Business Circle, San Jose, CA 95128, and will operate from 6 a.m.–10 p.m.
MWG invites the San Jose community to celebrate the grand opening with a four-day sale featuring 40% off more than 65 participating brands, running Sept. 16-19. The celebration kicks off with a ribbon-cutting on the opening day, Sept. 16, at 9 a.m., followed by exclusive promotions, doorbusters and brand demos and giveaways throughout the sale.
MWG Holdings thanks its grand opening sponsors for their support in making the celebration possible, including Platinum Sponsors Kanha and Lime; Gold Sponsors Buddies, Stiiizy, and Halfpipe; and Silver Sponsors Yada Yada, Friendly Brand, Home Grown, Jetty Extracts, Turn, Claybourne Co., Papa's Herb, Mr. Zips, Emerald Bay Extracts, Autumn Brands, Camino, Cake, Connected, Pax, and Maven.
"San Jose is an exciting addition to the Perfect Union family because it represents both a vibrant local community and an important step in our long-term growth strategy," MWG Holdings CEO Tom Sheridan said. "We're proud to work alongside our local equity partner to deliver the premium products, trusted service and welcoming retail experience our guests have come to expect."
Perfect Union's entry into San Jose is made possible through a local equity partnership that combines MWG's retail expertise with community-driven ownership and long-term opportunity. The partnership builds on years of work by local and statewide organizations to create pathways for entrepreneurs seeking to enter and succeed in California's cannabis industry.
"Opening this Perfect Union location in San Jose represents an important milestone for the community we serve," said Giau Nguyen, social equity owner. "As an equity owner, I'm proud to be part of a process grounded in responsibility, collaboration and long-term opportunity. This opening reflects our shared commitment to building a sustainable business while contributing positively to the community."
Nguyen's path to ownership ran through the city of San Jose's Cannabis Equity Business Academy (CEBA), which trains local equity applicants to build and run cannabis businesses. That journey was supported by the California Grow Green program, which was operated by the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce from 2018 to 2024 and provided industry education, support, resources and advocacy for entrepreneurs navigating California's emerging legal cannabis industry.
Frank Louie, former chief operating officer of the CalAsian Chamber and managing director of the California Grow Green program, worked closely with entrepreneurs through the CEBA program and has continued to advocate for their success and opportunities for equitable business ownership.
"When we launched California Grow Green, the goal was to make sure entrepreneurs had the guidance, resources and advocacy they needed to navigate an industry that was changing in real time," Louie said. "To see that early work contribute to an opportunity for local ownership years later is exactly why programs like this matter. Seeing Giau go through that process and ultimately reach the milestone of opening a licensed cannabis business is incredibly rewarding. I'm proud to have been part of that journey and to continue advocating for entrepreneurs as they build businesses and create opportunities in their communities."
The San Jose location expands MWG's California footprint into the heart of Silicon Valley, reflecting the company's continued growth through strategic local partnerships.
The dispensary also reflects Perfect Union's customer-first retail approach, welcoming shoppers with a personalized experience and support from knowledgeable staff. Guests can explore a thoughtfully curated assortment of premium flower, concentrates, edibles, beverages, vapes, wellness products and accessories from California's leading cannabis brands.
"We wanted this store to feel like San Jose, so we installed custom art designed for the countertops that highlights local favorite spots," said Shawn Samery, vice president of retail at Perfect Union. "Our goal is to create a welcoming experience where guests feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and finding products that fit their needs. We're excited to become part of the San Jose community and build relationships with guests from day one."
The San Jose opening builds on MWG's continued statewide momentum. Following record revenue months in early 2026 and its fourth consecutive year of double-digit sales growth, the company continues expanding through a model centered on operational excellence, strategic partnerships and community-focused retail.
"Projects like San Jose do not happen overnight," said Chelsea Haskins, vice president of licensing and legal strategy at MWG Holdings. "They take years of navigating regulations, building relationships, solving problems and staying committed even when things get difficult. Working alongside our social equity partners throughout this process has been one of the most meaningful parts of bringing this store to life because this opening represents more than a new location; it represents ownership opportunities, persistence and the work that goes into building something meant to last."
