Drive-thru cannabis dispensary coming to Cleveland’s Steelyard Commons

May 19, 2025

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Steelyard Commons will boast what appears to be the first drive-thru cannabis dispensary within Cleveland city limits.

Story Cannabis, a Phoenix-based cannabis operator, received final design approval during Friday’s Cleveland City Planning Commission meeting.

The store will be a dual-use marijuana dispensary, offering both medical marijuana and adult recreational marijuana, representatives told the commission.

The new single-story 2,667-square-foot building will be built on vacant land at 3270 Steelyard Drive. It is on the north side of the Steelyard Commons Shopping Center, across the street from KeyBank and Panda Express, and adjacent to the Clean Express Wash.

The dispensary will have 35 parking spots, including two ADA-compliant spaces, and a drive-thru lane.

The drive-thru lane will be for online pick-up orders only, according to a recent meeting of the Far West Design Review Committee.

Once built, this will mark the sixth location in the state for Story Cannabis. It opened its first Cleveland-area location in February, on Brookpark Road off of Interstate 480.

Though Story will likely be the first drive-thru dispensary in the city, it isn’t the first in Cuyahoga County. That honor goes to CERTIFIED Dispensary on Cedar Road in South Euclid, which opened in August.
