NEW BUFFALO — The parking lot was stuffed with eager patrons, employees, music and food trucks on March 28 for Mango Cannabis Co.’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Located at 10227 U.S. 12 in New Buffalo, the mango orange and neon green building makes for an easy find.

The line of customers zigzagged through the building, each with a goody bag and raffle ticket in hand for the TV giveaway.

“The chamber and New Buffalo Township wants to make sure you know that if you need anything, we are happy to help,” said Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber Membership Director Sarah Spoonholtz. “It’s amazing how much dispensaries have changed! They are bright, they are bold, they are colorful – everything Mango is welcome!”

Located in New York, New Mexico and Oklahoma, Mango Cannabis Co. opened their doors in New Buffalo in January, but Saturday’s celebration marked their grand opening. With more than 30 dispensaries open in the township, Mango’s owners pride themselves on exclusive deals.

“The biggest thing that sets us apart from our competitors is our customer service, we really pride ourselves on that. We have a great culture, environment and ambiance here,” said Mango Cannabis CEO Kevin Pattah. “We probably have the largest selection of inventory, if not close to, in New Buffalo, and we offer a very bright, and cool environment.”

The Mango CEO, COO, CMO, and president were all in attendance for the festivities last weekend, greeting customers.

“We want to thank New Buffalo Township for welcoming us and allowing us to open this establishment,” Pattah said.

Mango Cannabis is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
