Swade Cannabis, based in St. Louis, is expanding its presence in Missouri by acquiring five dispensaries operated by BesaMe Wellness in the Kansas City area. This acquisition will nearly double Swade’s retail footprint, allowing the company to enhance its market share in the region.
The deal, announced on May 9, 2025, signifies Swade Cannabis’s strategy to penetrate new markets and meet the growing demand for cannabis products. By taking over the dispensaries, Swade aims to leverage its successful business model and operational experience to provide a wider variety of cannabis offerings to consumers in Kansas City.
This move comes as the cannabis industry in Missouri continues to grow, with increasing consumer acceptance and a broader range of products available. Swade Cannabis’s expansion reflects the competitive landscape of the cannabis retail sector, where companies seek to establish themselves in key markets.
The acquisition is set to be finalized soon, and Swade is expected to implement its practices in these newly acquired locations, enhancing product selection and customer service. As the cannabis market evolves, this expansion may position Swade Cannabis as a leading player in the Kansas City area.
