Colorado-based retail chain Schwazze said it acquired the cannabis shop Smokin’ Gun Apothecary in the Denver suburb of Glendale for $4 million and 100,000 shares of stock.
The vertically integrated Schwazze has been on an acquisition spree, having gobbled up indoor cultivator Brow 2 in August for $6.7 million, Southern Colorado Growers in July for $11.3 million and retail chain competitor Star Buds in March for $72.3 million.
The addition of Smokin’ Gun brings its retail store footprint to 20, according to a Monday news release.
