Nearly a year after receiving permission to adjust its operation to help it open quicker, Woodstock’s first marijuana business is hoping to open its doors in April.
Six Labs Inc., which is aiming to open a marijuana business that could one day incorporate all three types of licenses available from the state, is planning to launch on April 1, co-founder Joseph Ori said Friday.
The business will be at 1411 S. Eastwood Drive, north of Route 14, which previously hosted a Golf and Games miniature golf site. Much of the construction needed to prep the site started in November last year and included tearing out the mini golf course, along with fencing and landscaping work.
“I’d say the site is about 60% ready,” Ori said.
When the business opens, it will start as an infusion and transportation business, Ori said.
Six Labs is trying to obtain a dispensary license. In the coming weeks, it will seek approval from the city for that kind of business.
If all goes well, the goal will be to open up the dispensary-side of the business by the end of the year. At least, it would happen in early 2024, Ori said.
The third part of the business — craft-growing — is much more in flux, Ori said.
Lawsuits going through the state are still being sorted out, and as a result, Six Labs is still waiting to receive its license. It’s not known when that might happen.
“The state is about two years behind on those,” Woodstock Economic Development Director Garrett Anderson said.
