Story updated April 20

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

That’s the sound the world’s going to hear the morning of April 20—because at 9:30 AM eastern time, your favorite online cannabis destination, Leafly, will ring the opening freaking bell on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Join us bright and early this Wednesday for the Livestream from the Nasdaq floor, where Leafly will join a long list of successful, innovative companies who’ve rang the opening bell at Nasdaq’s New York City headquarters.

Yoko Miyashita—who became the company’s CEO in August 2020 after serving as the company’s General Counsel—will lead the ceremony. The Leafly Board of Directors, fellow Leafly employees, and friends will join her.

In February, Leafly became a publicly traded company and currently trades on the Nasdaq as ‘LFLY.’ Ringing the opening bell on April 20 represents a new milestone for the decades-old industry, and 12 year-old company.

Leafly launched in 2010 as a strain lookup site, then added stores & menus, and pickup and delivery. Today, Leafly has over 125 million annual visitors and sells advertising to stores and brands, as well as facilitates ordering.

“We couldn’t be more excited to ring the bell at Nasdaq. Being invited on 4/20 really underlines how special of a day this is to Leafly. As more states like New Jersey come online, Leafly will be there as a place to research and order cannabis,” Miyashita says. “The industry is growing so quickly and I am looking forward to the next stage of growth, for the company and the industry.”
