NBA Hall Of Famer Chris Webber's $175M Cannabis Venture Faces Challenges, But He's Not Backing Down
Portfolio Pulse from Joana Scopel
NBA Hall of Famer Chris Webber's $175 million cannabis development in Detroit has been stalled for nearly two years due to challenging market conditions, including a 56% plunge in marijuana prices. The project, under the banner of Players Only, was planned to include an industry training complex, a cultivation site, a consumption lounge, and a dispensary. Webber is planning to revise the development plans, likely resulting in a scaled-down project. Webber's business partnership with Gage Cannabis, a subsidiary of TerrAscend Corp., operates Cookies-branded stores in the state.
