Denver, CO – June 24, 2024 – Lightshade Labs, a longstanding provider of recreational and medical cannabis in Colorado, announces the sale of four Denver locations to Fired Cannabis, a new local cannabis industry brand.

Lightshade will continue operating four dispensaries, including the Aurora location on Iliff Ave., the Federal Heights location on Federal Blvd., and the Denver locations on Dayton St. and Evans Ave., focusing on maintaining its high service and community engagement standards. By concentrating on these four locations, Lightshade aims to become more deeply entrenched within these communities, fostering stronger connections and providing enhanced support and positive experiences.
This focused approach allows Lightshade to tailor its products and community programs more precisely to the needs of customers and neighbors. It enhances its ability to engage in community development activities, support local initiatives, and provide educational resources about cannabis consumption and safety. Through this intensified community involvement, Lightshade seeks to continue serving and enhancing the well-being and quality of life of its community members.
