Openings and Closings: Snaxland Begins Dispensary Expansion

As Colorado’s dispensary scene continues to adapt to declining sales, popular growers are starting to claim their own territory.

Within the span of a week, two different wholesale cultivators purchased longtime dispensaries in Boulder. In early February, Boulder Built took over Boulder Wellness Cannabis Company, while less than a week later, Snaxland announced it had bought the Peaceful Choice.

Boulder Built ownership plans to keep the Boulder Wellness name around, but Snaxland has already begun rebranding the Peaceful Choice — and there are more changes in the works, with a new Snaxland dispensary in Denver also on the way, according to the company.

Those weren’t the only big moves in early 2023. Here are the recent dispensary openings, closings and upcoming changes around Denver:
