Growing as fast as the dandelions on the side of the highway, cannabis shops are popping up everywhere in the Matanuska Valley. A new and “budding” industry, cannabis is forecasted to sell over $119 million, statewide, in 2020. However, high taxes, stiff competition, and ever changing laws and policies make navigating these businesses a tall order.
Despite the challenges, many are excited about chasing the American dream, and owning a business, in this beautiful state, in the greatest country in the world. Chad Ragsdale, manager and an owner of Matanuska Cannabis Co in the Buttte, and now Owner of MCC Flight, is one of those people. Bringing cannabis flower, concentrates, edibles, and CBD to Wasilla, MCC Flight will be a cozy, express location directly behind the Denali Harley Davidson, on Blue Lupine Rd. The shop rests on an old air strip that existed years ago in Wasilla, and Chad decided to carry on the tradition of flight in the shops decor and art.
MCC Flight expects to open in July and will be open 7 days a week to provide those commuting home, tourists, and other visitors with the best prices and inventory available, in cannabis. The Grand opening will offer discounts and prizes like a 50” Samsung Smart TV! More can be found by following their Facebook or Instagram page. MCC Flight is grateful to be a part of this wonderful community and appreciates you shopping local!
