Gotham Opens New Brooklyn Location at The Refinery in Williamsburg

Gotham, the world’s first cannabis concept store, is setting down roots in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with the grand opening of its third location at The Refinery at Domino. Positioned on Kent Avenue and South 2nd Street, the 4,000-square-foot storefront is Gotham’s latest venture, reflecting its mission to merge cannabis, culture, and community.

The location, chosen by the Brooklyn-based Two Trees Management, marks a milestone for Gotham, further expanding its footprint in New York’s legal cannabis market. Just a month after opening its Hudson, NY store, Gotham continues its pioneering path in creating cannabis retail experiences unlike any other. This Williamsburg space not only marks their third location but also reaffirms their dedication to bringing a luxurious, curated cannabis lifestyle to locals and tourists alike.

A Unique Space in a Vibrant Community

With its proximity to Domino Park and Domino Square, Gotham’s new store sits in the heart of a thriving, culturally rich community. The Refinery at Domino, a development by Two Trees Management, is quickly becoming a hub for entertainment, retail, and lifestyle. Bonnie Campbell, Principal at Two Trees, explains, “The Williamsburg community has supported our local retailers since the opening of Domino Park. The addition of Gotham brings culture and connectivity to this already vibrant district. They’re setting a new standard for how cannabis can intersect with luxury and community.”

Inside Gotham’s new location, customers are greeted by a stunning custom tree installation designed by artist Molly Lowe, a long-time collaborator. With its cascading green materials, this one-of-a-kind willow tree is a breathtaking focal point that embodies Gotham’s innovative and artistic approach to cannabis retail.

A Curated Cannabis and Lifestyle Experience

Underneath this artistic canopy, Gotham’s curated selection of premium cannabis awaits. Gotham offers only the highest quality products from top-shelf flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vape pens, and live resin. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to guide customers through their options, ensuring everyone has a personalized experience tailored to their needs.

Beyond cannabis, the store showcases a carefully curated lifestyle, fashion, and beauty product selection. Gotham’s Vice President of Creative and Merchandising, Rachel Berks, has hand-selected products from notable brands such as Eckhaus Latta, Collina Strada, and Jungles Jungles. Shoppers will also find Gotham’s exclusive line of products, including candles, wearables, and topicals. The open-shelf design invites exploration, making every visit to Gotham as much a cultural experience as it is a retail one.

Celebrating the Williamsburg Launch

To commemorate the opening of their Williamsburg outpost, Gotham is unveiling a limited-edition edible inspired by the iconic Domino Sugar Factory. The “Sugarhigh” edible, a white sugar cube infused with cannabis, was developed in collaboration with New York brand Off Hours and will be available exclusively at Gotham locations.

Founder Joanne Wilson reflects on the significance of the expansion: “Gotham is deeply intertwined with New York’s cultural fabric. Our goal is to democratize cannabis, presenting it through a cultural lens that speaks to the diversity and vibrancy of the city.”

Growing Gotham’s Legacy

Since its inception in 2023, Gotham has been a trailblazer in merging cannabis with culture. The brand’s latest expansion into Brooklyn cements its place as a cultural icon in New York’s cannabis scene. With innovative partnerships, community engagement, and an unyielding commitment to quality, Gotham continues to push the boundaries of what a cannabis retail experience can be.

The Williamsburg location will offer in-store shopping and pick-up services, with plans to extend its delivery radius into Brooklyn. Open daily from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Gotham is ready to serve the community, offering a unique space where culture, cannabis, and luxury intersect.
