Weedmaps (Nasdaq: MAPS), a leading online cannabis marketplace for consumers, has significantly expanded its presence in the New York cannabis market in the first quarter of 2024 with a comprehensive approach that includes sponsoring industry events, offering assistance for legacy operators transitioning to the licensed market, and implementing marketing initiatives dedicated to consumer awareness.
“Weedmaps has been an early and consistent supporter of the New York cannabis community, and a lot of that ground work is paying off with the momentum we’re seeing in the NY market today,” said Jackie Gonzalez-Becerra, Vice President of Revenue at Weedmaps. “Community and culture are the cornerstones of the cannabis industry and our Weedmaps team is committed to showing up and supporting New York cannabis operators as the state ramps up.”
As New Yorkers convert to the legal market, Gonzalez-Becerra says Weedmaps is focused on enlisting all licensed retailers in the market as clients as soon as they come online, with 131 licensees on the platform as of June 6, 2024. As for who is shopping at New York’s licensed dispensaries, Q1 2024 consumer data from Weedmaps begins to paint a picture of who the cannabis shoppers in New York are, and what they’re purchasing:

Community-Building Key to New York Market
For New Yorkers, shopping for cannabis is about more than just an in-store experience –– it’s also about culture and events. On the Revel, a New York City-based group working to foster an inclusive, collaborative and flourishing cannabis industry via educational and networking experiences, has partnered with Weedmaps since 2021. Together, the two brands have partnered to help ensure community remains the cornerstone of cannabis in New York.
“We’ve seen a lot of California based companies come into New York, spend money, put their logo on things, and partner with the first people they meet –– they fail to do what Weedmaps did so well,” said Jacobi Holland, Co-founder of On the Revel. “Weedmaps brought the right evangelists to be on the ground from the start. They came into our communities, were genuine and authentic, and that was different from a lot of the other California brands trying to break into the market here.”
“It feels good to have partners who believe in us,” said Lulu Tsui, Co-Founder of On The Revel. “We love that Weedmaps started on the ground with the New York industry. We share a similar ethos and belief in the community, legacy, and culture.”
NYC-native and long-time cannabis advocate Vladimir Bautista, CEO of Happy Munkey, recently received his first retail dispensary license. As a legacy operator in New York, Bautista connected with Weedmaps at an event in 2019 and began collaborating with the brand from there.
“Weedmaps has the right intentions for the culture and community in New York, and their work helping minorities and small businesses get visibility will only help our state become the most equitable cannabis market in the country,” Bautista said. “New York has always been the financial, cultural, and hospitality capital of the world and we’re going to see that moving into cannabis with new experiences and new brands coming out of NY.”
Beyond events and partnership efforts, the Weedmaps app and website also serve as a valuable tool for New York residents and tourists alike. With an ever-evolving legal landscape in the state, consumers can help ensure they’re shopping at a legal, licensed cannabis business by downloading the Weedmaps app, or visiting the New York Office of Cannabis Management website.
