Massillon, Ohio welcomes its first licensed dispensary as Bloom opens, marking an important milestone for cannabis access in the area. Located in a convenient plaza at 254 Federal Ave NW, Bloom Dispensary Massillon offers both medical patients and adult-use (recreational) consumers a new and welcoming shopping experience.
Bloom Massillon’s Location: Towne Plaza
The building has been home to a few different businesses over the years, but the Bloom team has completely renovated it from the ground up. Bloom’s Community Outreach & Retail Marketing Manager Savannah Nelson explained, “Our goal was to create a fresh, welcoming space where people feel comfortable the moment they walk through the doors.”
The new store sits at the tip of downtown on Federal Ave., conveniently located in Towne Plaza—an area every Massillon local knows. “Right next door is Bella Sera, a beloved Ma and Pa Italian restaurant, and we’re also within walking distance of the Massillon Transit Center,” Nelson explained. “We’re proud to be the very first dispensary in Massillon. Until now, the closest option was in Canton, so being able to provide access right here in the community feels both exciting and meaningful.”
Massillon Store A Welcome Addition to Bloom Family
Bloom’s Training and Development Manager, Lisa Burton emphasized that the Massillon team will be able to share their collective knowledge from serving medical patients in their other dispensaries across the state. “Massillon’s opening has given our budtenders the chance to grow into management roles where they are supporting new staff. We have a great mix of Bloom team members already rooted in the culture alongside new employees bringing fresh energy, and that combination makes Bloom Massillon really special.”
Austin Leite, General Manager of Bloom Massillon, sees the new location as more than just another dispensary. Having worked across Bloom’s operations in Maumee, Painesville, and Akron, he’s bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge into the new store.
