Located at 3101 10th St., the new Menominee store will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., featuring in-store shopping and curbside pickup. It boasts the largest budroom and sales floor among all Fire Station locations, designed for an immersive shopping experience.

Customer Focus and Expert Staff
CEOs and co-owners Logan Stauber and Stosh Wasik emphasized the shift to a full "U.P. cannabis superstore," while store general manager Mikhael Parrson highlighted the team's expertise. Shoppers can expect guidance on a wide product range, from flower to accessories, reflecting the retailer's commitment to education amid Michigan's maturing cannabis scene.
This expansion aligns with post-legalization trends, where knowledgeable staff help demystify products, reducing stigma and promoting responsible use. Michigan's recreational market, legal since 2018, has seen retail sales exceed $3 billion annually, with U.P. businesses like Fire Station filling rural gaps.
Community Giveback and Broader Impact
The "Heart on Fire" Giveaway offers one winner $1,000 in store credit and a $1,000 donation to a local nonprofit of their choice—enter in-store or at thefirestation.com/contest. Such initiatives underscore cannabis retailers' role in community support, boosting local economies in areas like Menominee, where tourism and agriculture dominate.
As the tenth location, this opening signals robust growth for U.P.-owned operations, countering dominance by larger chains. It enhances access in underserved northern Michigan, potentially driving tourism and jobs while normalizing cannabis as a lifestyle choice integrated with wellness and recreation.
