Elad Kohen, Founder and CEO of The Flowery, has built a reputation for delivering top-tier cannabis and fostering an authentic culture around the plant. While The Flowery first made waves in Florida, its recent expansion into New York is set to redefine the cannabis experience for East Coast consumers. With locations now in Staten Island, Queens, SoHo, and Brooklyn, The Flowery is bringing its quality-driven philosophy to the heart of the cannabis industry’s next frontier.
Expanding the Legacy to New York
For Kohen, New York represents more than just another market—it’s a cultural hub where cannabis has deep roots. “New York has always been at the center of cannabis culture,” he notes. “From underground legacy operators to the new legal market, the city has a rich history of innovation and resilience. We’re here to honor that.”
The Flowery’s entrance into New York is marked by partnerships with some of the most respected names in cannabis, including 710 Labs, Preferred Gardens, Doja, and Wizard Treez. With an emphasis on quality and transparency, Kohen’s team ensures that every product meets the high standards that have made The Flowery a household name in Florida.
From Florida to the Big Apple: What Sets The Flowery Apart?
Unlike many corporate cannabis ventures prioritizing rapid expansion, The Flowery remains rooted in relationships, authenticity, and craftsmanship. “People often underestimate how much attention cannabis needs to reach its full potential,” Kohen explains. “Growing great flower is an art—one that requires deep expertise, the right conditions, and respect for the plant.”
New York’s cannabis landscape is still developing, and The Flowery is committed to setting a new standard. “Many consumers here are still figuring out where to find high-quality, clean cannabis,” Kohen says. “We’re here to make that search easy. If it’s not absolutely amazing, we won’t sell it.”
Building Community in New York’s Cannabis Scene
The Flowery isn’t just about premium products—it’s about fostering a real cannabis culture. With beautifully designed stores featuring custom art and a welcoming atmosphere, The Flowery aims to create a space where consumers feel at home. “Cannabis has always been about community,” Kohen emphasizes. “Our stores reflect that—whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a first-time consumer, you’ll feel the difference.”
Beyond retail, The Flowery is also investing in New York’s cannabis future through social equity partnerships. “We’re working with legacy operators and social equity businesses to ensure they have the resources they need to thrive,” Kohen explains. “New York’s legal market needs strong foundations, and we want to be part of building that.”
The Future of Cannabis in New York
With the New York market still in its early stages, Kohen sees immense potential for growth—particularly through the integration of technology and consumer education. “We’re focused on bringing the best cannabis and the best experience,” he says. “Whether that’s through advanced genetics, personalized shopping experiences, or better ways to support growers, we’re all in.”
As The Flowery continues to take root in New York, its mission remains clear: to elevate cannabis culture with quality, transparency, and authenticity. “New York deserves the best,” Kohen states. “And we’re here to deliver it.”
