Mango Cannabis is opening its first retail dispensary in New Mexico. The 9,000-square-foot superstore — the largest in the state — is located in Sunland Park along the border with El Paso, Texas, which continues to uphold some of the strictest anti-cannabis laws in the country.

"We opened in Sunland Park to meet the rising demand for premium cannabis in southern New Mexico, and the response has been phenomenal," COO Mike Khemmoro told Benzinga. "As the largest dispensary in the state at over 9,000 square feet, Mango Cannabis is here to set a new standard, serving the community with trusted products, knowledgeable staff and a commitment to consistency and care."  

The Tulsa-based company, which plans to expand throughout New Mexico, will carry over 3,000 SKUs, including the top 100 most popular brands in the state. 

"There won’t be anything that’s worth stocking that won’t be in the store," adds Khemmoro. "We are committed to providing the people of this community the best possible shopping experience there is, with the best possible products there are, at the most competitive pricing that can be."

The new store can process 2,000 to 3,000 orders a day. Customers can shop at their own pace with access to more than 50 knowledgeable employees and budtenders, educated to answer a myriad of questions and recommend the right products for specific needs and desired effects.

Among the store's features are more than 20 checkout stations, 30 75-inch TVs displaying ads, promotions, and the newest offerings, and a drive-thru window. Customers can pick up after ordering online via the Mango Cannabis app, WM Tech MAPSW WeedMaps portal or by ordering directly at the window. 

With 10 other locations, Mango Cannabis is known for negotiating the best prices and deals with its vendors and brand partners in the industry.

"A lot of them have toured the store and have been amazed by it," said Kevin Pattah, CEO and co-founder. "They see our vision and are inspired to co-brand and collaborate with us so that we can offer our customers the best of all worlds — flowers and edibles, recreational and medical."

New Mexico’s Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the bill in 2021 to legalize adult use, the Cannabis Regulation Act. The state had a medical marijuana program since 2007 under tight restrictions.
