Community Leaders Partner to Launch Curbside Cannabis
Due to the COVID-19 health crisis and current government protocols, New Standard will open for curbside pick-up.

New Standard, a customer-experience focused cannabis startup founded by longtime southeast Michigan residents and community leaders, announces the opening of its first provisioning center on April 3 in Hazel Park, located at Ten Mile and John R Roads.
New Standard’s Hazel Park provisioning center opens for medical use and will offer a wide and welcoming variety of cannabis flower, pre-rolls, edibles, cartridges, concentrates and accessories. Committed to being a positive part of the communities it serves, New Standard will be donating a portion of all proceeds during the current global health crisis to help local retailers forced to close.
Due to the COVID-19 health crisis and current government protocols, New Standard will open for curbside pick-up following industry-leading safety standards. New Standard also intends to begin delivery service to all eligible patients within the next few weeks.

“Facing our current challenges, we see it as our mission to ensure all of our customers are being provided access to the best and safest products,” says Luckoff. “We’ve gone above and beyond to provide safe curbside, and soon delivery, service exceeding industry standards both in our protocols and no-contact procedures.”
Each New Standard provisioning center will carry a carefully curated mix of Michigan’s emerging cannabis harvest, along with a wide variety of the most popular and innovative forms of cannabis,” says Luckoff. “When we are able to welcome customers into the New Standard facility, the product will only further be supported by our warm, eclectic, comfortable, educational, and engaging environment.”
James Fisher, New Standard VP of Cultivation adds, “Our cultivation and retail teams work hand-in-hand to bring our patients products we are truly proud of. We know how hard it can be to find a trusted, quality product. That’s why it’s important to establish the unwavering standard for all products sold throughout our New Standard stores, starting with Hazel Park.”
Curbside pick-up at New Standard Hazel Park begins on Friday, April 3. Continue to watch New Standard’s website for details about delivery and adult-use opening dates.
