Goldflower Cannabis is Taking Over Florida’s Cannabis Market with New Miami Flagship Location Set to Open on June 14th

Goldflower Cannabis, one of Florida’s fastest-growing vertically integrated cannabis companies known for setting a new standard in cannabis cultivation, product excellence, and customer experience, is continuing its expansion to meet rising patient demand across the state with their soon-to-open flagship location in the vibrant heart of Miami on Saturday, June 14th at 7401 Bird Road. Goldflower's Miami store will offer South Florida medical cannabis patients access to its celebrated line of Comparable to Organic flower, solventless concentrates, and premium edibles—all produced with the company’s signature reverence for the plant and passion for excellence.

Goldflower’s curated brand portfolio includes in-house lines like Ideal Cannabis (the only certified Comparable to Organic grown flower in Florida), Space Coast, and GHOST, best in class national brands such as DH Farms by Doghouse and Turn vapes, as well as exclusive licensed collaborations with cultural icons such as Method Man, Ricky Williams, and Randy Lanier. Goldflower is also licensed to sell Lion Order products, created with superstars such as Ray Lewis of the Ravens, Mike James of the Bucs and Lions, Rohan Marley, and Michael Phelps. In fact, the Miami location will feature the state’s largest selection of Lion Order offerings. Each product embodies Goldflower’s relentless focus on purity, flavor, and innovation.

Founded by leaders behind one of the largest cannabis exits in U.S. history (Cura), Goldflower has rapidly gained a reputation for producing Florida’s best flower, delivering top-tier customer service in their luxury stores to the best customers, and scaling a sustainable and profitable cannabis business.

What excites you most about opening your seventh location, especially in a dynamic market like Miami?

Angelo Lombardi, President of Goldflower: Miami is the most vibrant city in Florida and quite possibly the most exciting city in the US today. When one thinks of sports, arts, culture, music, nightlife and natural beauty, Miami is one of the top cities that comes to mind and so we are very excited to open our first stunningly beautiful store there. Additionally, several of our brands have a deep connection to Miami. One of our most premium brands is 34 by Ricky Williams who, of course, is a Miami Dolphins icon and so respected in the city. Additionally, the opening of our Miami store will coincide with the launch of the Lion Order brand at Goldflower. Lion Order was created by a group of ex Miami Hurricanes like Mike James (who also played for the Lions and the Bucs) and Bob Marley’s son Rohan who brings his fathers deep influence on cannabis to life through the brand. As such, Miami will be Goldflower’s flagship store and also be the home of our brand partners where they can experience their brands come to life.

How do you choose the neighborhoods where you open new dispensaries?

Angelo Lombardi: As we know, Florida is currently a medical cannabis market only. As such, we choose neighborhoods that are close to where Florida RESIDENTS live and work and play. For us, densely populated neighborhoods on key streets are what we look for. In Miami we are so happy to have this amazing address that is on an incredibly busy artery of the city (SW 40th street) and close to Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and the 826 highway.

What kind of experience can patients expect when visiting the new Miami location?

Angelo Lombardi: Goldflower stores are some of the most beautiful retail stores in the State and the Miami store is the most exquisite that we have built. Beautiful use of stone, wood, and other design elements welcome patients into an environment that treats them with respect and helps them feel our deep belief in the medicine that they use to treat a variety of afflictions. Our deeply educated retail employees, called budtenders, provide patient and sincere consultations to the patients ensuring that we match up their purchase to their needs.

Can you share a bit about the inspiration behind the Ideal Cannabis brand and its focus on premium products?

Mark Seid, Brand Ambassador for the Ideal Brand: Ideal Brands stands for the pinnacle of quality and safety in cannabis. The creators of Ideal, all Oregonians have over thirty years experience in creating proprietary genetics and perfecting their method of growing cannabis in living soil using comparable to organic practices. Furthermore all downstream Ideal products like vapes, gummies, and dabs only use solventless extraction techniques to extract the oil. What does this mean for the patient? It means when they are experiencing an Ideal brand product they can rest assured that no pesticides were used in growing the flower and no solvents like ethanol or butane were used in extracting the oil. It is truly the safest and medicine that a cannabis patient can use.

How do you approach educating new customers about your product offerings and quality standards?

Angelo Lombardi: We ensure that our budtenders have a very deep knowledge of cannabis and also the effects of different products and product types on the cannabinoid system so they can provide a real consultation to customers about how to impact and improve whatever they are trying to solve for, from pain, to sleep, to finding a way to help a cancer patient eat more. We have consultation rooms in each store for customers to have a full discussion with our budtenders. This also gives our budtenders an opportunity to talk about various growing and extraction methods so that customers can understand what various brands stand for, how they are grown, and what level of quality they represent.

Furthermore, we also hold periodic “Meet the Grower” or “Meet the Maker” events at each store inviting the community to come in and truly learn the agriculture or extraction or manufacturing aspects of cannabis products and have the ability to ask the experts any questions they might have.

What role does community engagement play in Goldflower’s growth strategy?

Angelo Lombardi: At Goldflower our community engagement process is multi-faceted. We encourage our brand partners like Ricky Williams, Rohan Marley, Method Man (Wu Tang Clan), Randy Lanier (ex Nascar rookie of the year and was just in the Netflix show “Bad Sport”) and others to be ambassadors for their own brands, and in doing so, they engage the community with Goldflower as well since each brand is exclusively signed to only us in Florida.

We also attend various cannabis focus events that happen across Florida almost every month to talk about Goldflower, our brands and product lines, what differentiates us, and what we stand for.

Since all patients in Florida must get their patient cards from qualified cannabis doctors, talking to the doctors and explaining to them our uniqueness, quality, and mission is also a critical part of our community engagement.

As stated above we have Meet The Grower events at all our stores but we also have Grand Opening events like the one we are having for our Miami store on June 14. That brings in a tremendous amount of people to come in and interact with our growers, makers, and celebrity brand owners.

Finally, with the launch of our Miami store we are now actively adding press and media as part of our community engagement and you will be seeing us do a lot more on this front.

Looking ahead, what are your hopes for the brand’s evolution in Florida and beyond?

Angelo Lombardi: Goldflower’s mission is to provide the highest quality and safest cannabis in Florida in the most beautiful retail environments supported by incredible customer service. As such, we are not currently looking beyond Florida. We have 6 stores open, Miami will be the 7th and we expect to have 11 open by fall, 15 by year end and 25 stores by the end of 2026 so we have our entire energy and focus on expansion in Florida with the goal of being the most respected provider of both cannabis products and in-store experiences in the entire state.
