JOLIET, IL — Wednesday will be a historic day in the city of Joliet as two recreational marijuana businesses open their doors to customers. At 6 a.m. on New Year's Day, the former Mattress Firm near the Louis Joliet Mall will begin selling recreational cannabis. The new marijuana business is called Rise.
On Tuesday morning, Joliet Patch visited the property and interviewed Derrick Levy, who is the district manager for Green Thumb Industries, which is part of 3C Compassionate Care Center.
The 3C Compassionate Care Center acquired the empty building in November 2018 and renovations have been ongoing the past several months.
Rise will open for cannabis customers at 2903 Colorado Ave. It's adjacent to the Osaka Japan restaurant and not far from the Binny's Beverage Depot store that opened in October 2018.
Levy told Joliet Patch he and his staff are prepared for a giant turnout on New Year's Day. Rise plans to be offering a shuttle service for customers on New Year's Day in the event that Rise's parking lot is full.
Rise only has about 30 parking stalls. Levy said there will be signs posted in the area of Mall Loop Drive to direct cannabis customers on where to find the shuttle bus service.
On New Year's Day, Rise plans to be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. "We do have a process in place to move the line at a good pace," Levy told Patch on New Year's Eve. "We just ask people to be patient."
Levy said Rise does not offer a drive-thru window service at its new store in Joliet. People who at least 21 years old will be allowed inside to buy limited amounts of recreational cannabis products.
Joliet customers can purchase 30 grams of flower, 500 milligrams of edible products or 5 grams of concentrates, Levy explained.
"It's a good location," Levy said of opening the new store in Joliet. "We're excited to be a good addition to the community. We're going to strive to be the best neighbors and contributors to the community."
Levy said that the Rise store near the mall will employ "upwards of 40 to 50 people when we're fully staffed."
Green Thumb Industries/3C Compassionate Care Center will also continue to keep its original medical marijuana dispensary in Joliet at 1627 Rock Creek Blvd.
Starting Jan. 1, the Rock Creek site will serve as a dual-purpose location, offering recreational marijuana and remain a dispensary for its medical marijuana patients, Levy said.
The following products will be available for Joliet customers of Rise:
