Hollywood Jacks is set to open soon in Charlotte, as the city’s second cannabis dispensary, since the August 2023 City Council vote.

Owner Brian Miller and his fiancé, Keisha Howe, are filled with excitement leading to the opening of their dispensary. They informed City Council members about the positive reasons to pass the dispensary vote.

Miller brings a lot of experience both on the cannabis and financial ends of Hollywood Jacks. Having worked at a dispensary previously, which got him interested in the industry, and afterward he pursed a finance degree from Michigan State University.

Hollywood Jacks is the perfect blend of his background and where a great cannabis experience can be found.

You can expect to see some familiar faces because Hollywood Jacks is local through and through both Miller and Howe were raised in Charlotte and grew up in the neighborhood around the corner from their new space, they also desire to have their team of employees local as well. They are excited to remain in their hometown as Howe already owns and operates Reflections Boutique in downtown Charlotte.

When visiting Hollywood Jacks there is more than one way to have a pleasant experience. Since their location just outside of the downtown district, it allows them to provide more product accessibility for their customers. You can access their products and service by walking in, curbside pickup, or their drive-thru window options.

Hollywood Jacks provide a wide range of cannabis products to enjoy including: topicals, rubs, chapsticks, gummies, vapes, infused pre-rolls, and even chocolates that are recommended for micro-dosing.

Hollywood Jacks is able to provide customers with the best experience in means of various displays from their deli style, concentrate bar, gummy display, drink coolers, and open style.

Hollywood Jacks is different when it comes to names amongst other dispensaries, so I asked Miller and Howe, and it turns out ‘Hollywood’ was Miller’s nickname on his high school baseball team. The Hollywood part of Hollywood Jacks is more than Miller’s old nickname and name of the business, it is the theme of it. Entering Hollywood Jacks, you will feel like a Hollywood star with the amazing customer service taking only but the best care of you. From the red carpet entry at check-in, velvet rope walkway, and many other details to enhance your shopping experience. Howe and Miller said they cannot thank their team of friends and family enough for stepping up and putting in countless hours to help get their doors open.

So, if you want to feel like a million bucks go out and see Charlotte’s latest cannabis dispensary that is located at 1820 Lansing Road, next to CharLanes. Hollywood Jacks store hours will tentatively be Monday- Friday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.-10 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Follow or like their Facebook page, Hollywood Jacks, for updates and events.
