what happened to butter cannabis in berkley michigan

Butter Cannabis in Berkley does not appear to have shut down; the more likely story is that its cultivation side in Flint was downsized in August 2024, while the Berkley store stayed open and operational. The company said it was pivoting production because of rising costs and market pressure in Michigan, but explicitly noted both retail locations in Berkley and Ann Arbor remained open.

What changed

• In late August 2024, butter announced a difficult transition at its Flint cultivation facility.
• The company said it was downsizing staff and shifting production strategy.
• It also said the Berkley dispensary was still fully operational.

Berkley location

Butter’s Berkley store was listed at 2222 W. Eleven Mile Road in Berkley, and later reporting in 2024 still described butter products as available through the Berkley dispensary. That lines up with the company’s own statement that retail service in Berkley continued after the cultivation cutback.

Why people thought something happened

A Reddit post and other chatter in August 2024 suggested the cultivation operation had closed, which likely fueled rumors about the whole brand. But the company’s public update separates the cultivation/facility change from the retail stores, so the Berkley shop itself was not the part that closed.

TL;DR

Butter Cannabis seems to have restructured its cultivation operation , not disappeared from Berkley. The Berkley dispensary was still open according to company statements and later coverage.
