Our story

Founded in 2013 by visionaries Jeremy Pratt and Jeff Johnson who moved to Oregon specifically to enter the cannabis industry, Nectar has grown from a single Portland dispensary to the largest cannabis retailer in Oregon. Their first location in Portland's upscale Pearl District set the standard for what cannabis shopping could be – clean, well-lit, and professional. By 2016, nearly one-fifth of Oregon's medical cardholders were shopping at Nectar dispensaries.The company's expansion has been remarkable, growing to over 35 locations throughout Oregon, demonstrating their commitment to making quality cannabis accessible to everyone. In 2019, Nectar received the Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific's Oregon Spark Award for Ethics, honoring their exceptional commitment to building trust and integrity. Their success story continued in 2022 when they expanded into Ohio, opening dispensaries in Bowling Green, Euclid, and Cincinnati, bringing their customer-first approach to a new market. Today, Nectar continues its growth with new locations opening in strategic areas, including Harrison near the Indiana border, making them a true multi-state operator with a focus on accessibility and quality.
