TOLEDO, Ohio — The Toledo Hemp Center will be closing it's doors for good on Thursday, Oct. 31.
According to social media posts, the THC retailer is closing due to increased rent for their store space and a lack of sales in the Toledo area.
The Hemp Center, which is located off of Jackman Road, opened 11 years ago in west Toledo.
In a post to Facebook, the store wrote "This isn't just the end of a business; it's the conclusion of a legacy that has positively impacted our community and helped countless individuals improve their quality of life through our top-quality hemp products."
Kevin Spitler, co-owner of the store, told WTOL 11 in April that he opened the store after his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and used hemp and marijuana to manage her symptoms.
He called the products that are sold at the store "grandma-approved."
The Hemp Center does not sell medicinal nor recreational marijuana.
The business is currently holding a sale for their final week of business, with everything in the store up to 70% off.
