Being a larger cannabis network doesn’t have to mean losing local roots. Since 2017,
Elevated has grown to more than 18 locations across Montana while remaining fully Montana-owned, Montana-operated, and community focused.
Our growth has been intentional. Instead of expanding through outside investors or corporate buyouts, we reinvested back into Montana communities, building a statewide presence rooted in local ownership and long-term commitment.
Today,
Elevated locations serve communities from Billings to Missoula, Bozeman to Great Falls, and Kalispell to Helena. No matter where you visit, you’ll find the same standards for quality, education, and service.
Across every location, that commitment includes:
- Montana-grown cannabis with more than 70 in-house strains cultivated in controlled facilities
- In-house production, including bakery-made edibles and lab-tested concentrates
- Local employment, creating hundreds of Montana jobs, including opportunities for students in college towns
- Community programs, including standing veteran and tribal discounts
We Keep Quality Close to Home
Maintaining quality at scale requires hands-on oversight at every step. Elevated’s seed-to-shelf approach keeps cultivation, production, testing, and distribution within Montana.
That includes:
- Cultivation facilities across the state producing consistent, Montana-grown flower
- A professional bakery producing edibles with precise dosing and consistent quality
- In-house testing to verify potency and purity
- A distribution system that delivers fresh products across all locations
This level of control helps ensure that quality stays consistent from one location to the next.
Community Programs That Reflect Local Ownership
Local ownership shows up in how a business supports the people around it. Elevated invests directly in Montana communities through ongoing programs that are part of how we operate, not limited-time promotions.
These include:
- Standing veteran discounts honored statewide
- Tribal member programs built into everyday pricing
- Food drives and local events supporting families across Montana
- Student job opportunities in university towns
- Access-to-Medicine events helping patients navigate medical cannabis resources
These commitments are made possible by keeping decisions and reinvestment in Montana, where the impact is felt most.
Why Supporting Local Cannabis Dispensaries Matters for Montana
At Elevated, local ownership isn’t a talking point. It’s how the business was built and how it continues to operate. Being Montana-owned and operated means decisions are made here, investments stay here, and the impact is felt in the communities we serve.
When cannabis businesses are rooted in Montana, revenue supports local workers, local suppliers, and local infrastructure. That creates stronger communities and a more sustainable cannabis industry across the state.
Keeping Cannabis Dollars in Montana
Elevated reinvests directly into Montana by working with in-state partners, hiring local contractors, and operating cultivation and production facilities within state lines. That approach keeps cannabis dollars circulating locally instead of leaving the state.
From cultivation to retail, keeping operations close to home allows for better oversight, faster decisions, and stronger relationships with the people and businesses involved at every step.
Creating Jobs and Investing in Communities
Local ownership shows up in the people behind the counter and behind the scenes. Elevated has created hundreds of Montana jobs across cultivation, production, retail, and education. These roles are designed to grow into long-term careers, with training and advancement opportunities built in.
Beyond employment, Elevated supports the communities where its locations operate. That includes food drives, local events, and student job opportunities in college towns, all driven by a commitment to showing up consistently, not occasionally.
Preserving Montana’s Cannabis Values
Elevated was built around education, quality, and trust. Budtender conversations focus on listening first and helping customers find products that fit their needs and preferences. That approach reflects Montana’s cannabis culture, which values relationships and informed choices over quick transactions.
Because Elevated operates across diverse communities, from rural towns to college cities, product selection and service are shaped by local needs while maintaining consistent standards statewide.
Ongoing Support for Veterans, Tribal Communities, and Local Causes
Community support at Elevated is built into everyday operations.
Veteran and
tribal discount programs are offered across all locations as a standing commitment, not a limited promotion. These efforts are part of a broader approach to creating welcoming spaces where all Montanans feel respected and supported.
By choosing a locally owned dispensary like Elevated, customers support a business that stays accountable to Montana communities and continues to invest where it matters most.
