Steuben County's first state-licensed cannabis store opens in Corning
CORNING, N.Y. (WETM) — As legal cannabis operations grow in New York, Steuben County can finally be checked off the list as a new licensed facility is open in Corning.
Culture Canna Co. has joined the businesses on Market Street after setting up shop at 90 East Market St, next to Maley's Pub.
The shop is the first state-licensed retail dispensary to open in Steuben County, following Chemung County and others across the state as they lean away from illegal sticker shops and more toward state-licensed facilities.
Matthew Coley, one of the shop's co-owners, told 18 News the shop is using all New York-grown and tested cannabis that's up to par with state regulations. Coley said the shop is trying to keep things as local as possible when it comes to the products.
'We are trying to stay as close to our location here in Corning as we can,' Coley said. 'We have distributors from Elmira, New York, we have distributors from Cortland, New York, we have distributors from Ithaca, New York, and we're trying to keep it local, trying to keep the money in the community and keep everything as close to home as we can,' Coley said.

Coley added that everything in the shop is safe to consume as all products are regulated and tested to meet New York safety standards. Coley said the shop has something for everyone from recreational to healing products.
'We're getting a lot of people in that are looking to get to sleep easier, people who have pain or inflammation, inside or outside the body, and we have things that can help with all of that,' Coley said, stating that not everyone is looking to use cannabis for recreational use, but for those who are in pain, too.
Coley and the other shop owner, Mark Kamandulis, had a soft opening for the shop on March 19 and have enjoyed the business so far. Kamandulis, a Big Flats native, is happy to be in the community, and making sure everything is done correctly.
'We're just excited to be here,' Kamandulis said, 'it's been a two-and-a-half-year process, we've gone through a number of different hoops with the state and the local municipality, just making sure that we're doing everything right,' he said. 'We want to do things the right way, we want to be good members of the community and we want to do this in a way where people are proud that we're here on Market Street with them and their businesses,' he said.
The store is open Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

More Crypto IPOs Are Coming: 3 Initial Public Offerings To Watch For
INDIA - 2024/04/07: In this photo illustration, a Bitcoin Logo seen displayed on a smartphone with ... More the Wall Street - New York Stock Exchange logo in the background. (Photo Illustration by Avishek Das/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Circle, the issuing company of the USDC Stablecoin, went public last week under the ticker 'CRCL'. The company's stock surged over 168% during its first day of trading, blowing investor expectations out of the water. Their wildly successful listing will likely trigger a rush of additional crypto companies to list or accelerate their plans to go public. I've put together a list of the top 3 crypto-related public listings that will likely make headlines in the months to come. Before we get to the list, let's quickly review the numbers of Circle's recent listing to grasp just how impressive the outcome was for its investors. Circle first announced its plans to go public on May 27th, 2025, though the company had filed for an S-1 registration with the SEC back in January 2024, which signalled its intention to go public. The company was initially targeting to raise $624 million by offering 24 million shares as part of its listing transaction. During the road show, the price was estimated at $24-$26 per share. Due to strong demand, the company increased the offering to 32 million shares at $27-$28 per share, upping the amount raised to $896 million. Even at the increased valuation, the company received 25 times more demand for the shares than expected, meaning the deal was 25 times oversubscribed. To put this in context, this implies that there was demand for ~850 million shares vs the 34 million that Circle was offering for sale. Part of the excitement came from the fact that ARK Invest and Blackrock had strong demand to invest. Circle finally penned the deal by selling 34 million shares at $31 per share, raising a total of $1.05 Billion and valuing the company at $8.1 Billion on a fully-diluted basis. During the first day of trading, the company's share price rose by 168%, closing the day at $81.69. This valued the company at ~$20 billion. While the excitement around Circle's IPO is partly rooted in the optimism surrounding U.S. dollar pegged stablecoins, the deal also implies strong investor interest to participate in the future of the digital economy that's being built around Bitcoin and digital assets. You can bet that other companies in the space are observing the deal with optimism and will likely work to accelerate their plans to list this year. Here are the top 3 companies that have announced or reported plans to list in the months ahead: Gemini As reported three days ago, the U.S.-based crypto exchange owned by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the U.S.. In terms of projected valuation, the company has not yet reported a price, but its last priced round back in November 2021 valued the company at $7.1 Billion. The estimated listing date is late 2025 or early 2026. Kraken The San Francisco-based exchange has also been reportedly getting ready for an IPO in early 2026, although no formal registration has been filed. The company's last priced round was all the way back in 2019, when it raised $13.5 Million at a $4 Billion valuation. The company has reportedly been working with banks to complete a debt offering to boost growth ahead of the listing. Bitgo Back in February the U.S. based custodian was reported to be eyeing an IPO 'as early as this year', though no formal registration has been filed yet. Bitgo's last priced round was done in August 2023, valuing the company at $1.75 Billion. These are just three companies-- after Circle's warm welcome, you can bet that there will be more announcing plans to list soon. In a market where Bitcoin Treasury company stocks and Bitcoin ETFs are performing so well, equity from companies that provide the infrastructure for the industry seems like a logical next step.
