[PRESS RELEASE] – LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 2, 2026 – Speakeasy Dispensary is proud to announce the official ribbon cutting and grand opening of its newest medical cannabis dispensary in Lexington, Ky., located at 1849 Alysheba Way.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on Jan. 14, welcoming local officials, industry partners, and invited guests to commemorate the opening. The dispensary will officially open to registered medical cannabis patients the following day, with doors opening at 10 a.m. on Jan. 15.
Designed to feel both intentional and inviting, the Lexington dispensary introduces patients to a layered retail experience from the moment they arrive. Guests enter through the front lobby, inspired by a traditional jockey club, grounded in Kentucky's equestrian heritage. From there, a concealed entry leads into the Speakeasy sales floor – a warm, thoughtfully designed space where a knowledgeable team provides one-on-one guidance, helping patients navigate the state's medical cannabis program with clarity and confidence.
"Opening in Lexington is an important step for Kentucky's medical cannabis program, and for the patients it's meant to serve," Gold Leaf Management CEO Casey Flippo said. "This is a new program, and it's still taking shape, so our focus is on giving patients a place where they can ask questions, understand their options, and feel comfortable walking through the process. Early on, availability and pricing will reflect where the market is today, but as the program matures, access, selection and value will continue to improve. We're committed to being part of that growth and to serving the Lexington community for the long term."
As Kentucky's medical cannabis market continues to take shape, Speakeasy plans to work alongside licensed cultivators and processors throughout the commonwealth to expand product selection over time. Early availability will be limited, but the dispensary's long-term focus is on building strong industry partnerships that support a diverse, dependable offering for patients as more operators come online.
