Father and son bring Verdi Cannabis to Park Slope, turning family loss Into legacy * Brooklyn Paper
Briefly

Verdi Cannabis celebrated the grand opening of its Park Slope location on June 12, marking its second shop in New York City. Founded by father and son duo Mitchell and Ellis Soodak, Verdi offers a curated menu of cannabis products, all sourced from vetted New York producers, emphasizing quality and affordability. Ellis Soodak, the youngest dispensary owner in NYC, aims to create a supportive shopping environment. The storefront preserves original pharmacy details, enhancing the community feel and inviting diverse customers, drawing on Soodak's own experiences of feeling out of place.
I like to say we have upstate prices downstate. We have $10 pre-rolls, $30 eights. Those are things usually you only see in the illegal stores, not the licensed dispensaries.
When I was younger, I was bullied a bit, and when I opened my own business, I wanted to make a store where everyone feels welcome.
