A new luxury CBD store in the heart of New York City speaks volumes about where the fast-growing industry is headed as regulations are relaxed around the world.

The 420: An Entertainment Hospitality Company has launched its first CBD-focused retail concept in Manhattan’s luxury shopping district, Soho.

The 420: A CBD Store features a collection of premium, hand-selected products from top CBD and emerging luxury brands against a backdrop of bespoke art installations.

“Over the next several years, our company will be taking a big stake in large-scale, cannabis-related hospitality entertainment across marquee locations throughout the world,” said The 420: An Entertainment Hospitality Company founder and CEO Robert Frey.
