[PRESS RELEASE] – LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 – STIIIZY, a best-selling cannabis brand, announced its retail expansion across California, expanding its footprint to 65 locations statewide.
Doubling Down on California
The continued momentum reflects STIIIZY's commitment to the state where it was founded nearly a decade ago, with seven new stores opening since August:
- San Jose – Aug. 1
- Hanford – Aug. 8
- Stockton – Sept. 5
- Vallejo – Sept. 12
- Seaside – Sept. 19
- Riverside – Oct. 2
- Riverside – Oct. 7
Four additional locations are scheduled to open in Bell Gardens, Moreno Valley, Hemet and Los Angeles' Eagle Rock neighborhood by the end of 2026.
"California remains central to our growth and evolution," STIIIZY President Tak Sato said. "As access to legal cannabis continues to grow, our focus is on reaching more consumers while delivering the quality and consistency our customers expect."
STIIIZY ranks among the top five across all product categories in California, accounting for one in four vapes sold in the state. As the company scales, it routinely refines its quality-control practices and testing protocols.
Building Brand Loyalty Beyond the Dispensary
STIIIZY's retail strategy extends beyond the dispensary. Through partnerships with major music festivals and entertainment platforms, such as Insomniac and Rolling Loud, the brand is showing up in the cultural spaces where its consumers already congregate.
At September's Nocturnal Wonderland, STIIIZY garnered strong engagement with lines wrapping around the booth. Interactive activities, including designing customizable keychains and luggage tags, were particularly popular, giving guests an opportunity to create personalized mementos.
Overall, STIIIZY remains focused on the fundamentals that have fueled its growth since the beginning: expanding its retail presence, raising product standards and building lasting relationships with consumers across California and beyond.
