CANTON − The former site of nightclubs at the corner of Cherry Avenue and Fourth Street NE will have new life as a medical cannabis dispensary.

Klutch Cannabis hosted an open house Friday for its soon-to-be second dispensary, The Citizen, at 401 Cherry Ave. NE. The company, which has a cultivation and processing facility in Akron, opened its first dispensary and the state’s first dispensary drive-thru in Lorain earlier this year.

Founder and CEO Adam Thomarios said the Cherry Avenue building took longer to renovate than anticipated because of structural issues, such as rotting floor joists and a sagging second floor. After “top to bottom” repairs, the building now features a wood floor lobby with black lounge chairs opposite a television.
