Dankz Opens in St. Cloud With a Terpene Wall and a Small-Grower Menu

St. Cloud has a new licensed dispensary. Dankz opened on October 16, 2026 at 3105 1st St. S., according to reporting from the St. Cloud Times summarized by We Are Main Street. The store has scheduled a grand opening for October 23, 2026.

The license

On the Office of Cannabis Management's public license list, the store's licensee is Nostalgic Heights L.L.C., doing business as Dankz. The license is MEZZO-L24-000317, a mezzobusiness with retail operations, issued September 11, 2026 and expiring September 11, 2027. The listing shows adult-use only, with no medical endorsement. A TerraVault public-record page that reads OCM's list showed the license as active on October 19, 2026. That makes Dankz an adult-use store: shoppers must be 21 or older with a valid ID.

What the store says sets it apart

The St. Cloud Times reporting describes two things:

• A terpene wall. Customers can smell products before buying, and staff use the wall to explain cannabinoids and terpenes and match products to what a shopper wants.
• Small-grower inventory. The store says its menu leans on smaller cultivators instead of large distribution networks.

Staff completed four days of training before opening: three on cannabis science and one on retail operations. On LinkedIn, Dankz says it trains every team member "from the seeds to the product being sold."

The store's online menu at shopdankz.com lists flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, and accessories, and shows delivery and pickup options. Menus change often, so check before you go.

Hours

Third-party listings that read the state license file show 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. We haven't confirmed those hours with the store. Check the store's own menu page before you visit.
