According to their website,

We carry a wide variety of Michigan’s most noted cannabis brands, so if you’re looking for top-shelf flower, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, or balms, we have a deep selection in a bright and uplifting atmosphere. If you’re new to cannabis our trained and knowledgeable budtenders will make your visit easy and comfortable.

New Standard's other Michigan stores are located in Whitehall, Sand Lake, Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Park Place, Hazel Park, Nunica, Edmore, and Ann Arbor.

Co-founded by Howard Luckoff and James Fisher, the company opened their first dispensary, Hazel Park, in April of 2020.

New Standard's CEO Luckoff described their business to Forbes,

New Standard is the first dispensary in Michigan to be a welcoming, comfortable, inclusive destination that anyone curious about cannabis can approach. Everything about our store has been strategically designed to make our guests feel at ease. Our vision is to provide a retail experience with the feel of a Shinola or Starbucks — one that is comfortable and consistent in terms of culture, customer experience and product offerings.

In late 2018, Michigan became the tenth state, and first state in the Midwest, to legalize recreational marijuana.
