Sofaclub Cannabis is set to open this fall at 229 Avenue B near 14th Street.
Ownership has secured a CAURD adult recreational use license from the state for the retail establishment. This marks the furthest east into the East Village for a licensed operation. (Downtown spots include Gotham at 3 E. Third St. near the Bowery and Housing Works on Broadway at Eighth Street.)
Co-owner Max Tsiring previously founded Artifact New York, an exclusive designer archive. (He also plays in the band Kitten.)
This new cannabis shop will be "design-oriented, classy, minimalist and stylish," Tsiring said. "I'm so excited to be part of a neighborhood I've hung out in and
loved my whole life."
Tsiring and his business partner are hoping for a Nov. 1 debut.
The storefront was previously Everytable.
