← The People Behind the Vision

Ashley

Co-Founder, 8th Avenue Cannabis Dispensary

Ashley spent ten years in global logistics. When she moved into cannabis, she joined a company that had one location. Over the next five years, that company grew to fifty stores across multiple states, and she oversaw hundreds of employees and multiple millions in revenue.

She was the one behind the scenes making that growth actually work, and now she's pouring that same experience into 8th Avenue.

She walked away in late 2024 to open 8th Avenue. Here, everything she learned goes into practice without compromise. She is on the floor every day, she knows the customers by name, and she has proven seed-to-shelf in a way most cannabis operators cannot.

Ashley grew up in Houston. Her background in service shapes how she treats every person who walks in, and she wants 8th Avenue to feel like a place where anyone feels comfortable asking questions, whether they are new to cannabis or an everyday connoisseur. She's here to answer questions and guide them either way.
