Eaze, one of California’s most recognizable cannabis brands, has officially come back home. On Monday, the company reopened in San Francisco, opening its first-ever store in the city’s historic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. For longtime followers of the brand, this is more than just another cannabis shop. It is a comeback story after bankruptcy nearly wiped Eaze out.
Let us walk through what this reopening means, what has changed, and why the Haight is the perfect place for the company’s return.
What happened to Eaze before bankruptcy
Eaze started in San Francisco in 2014, originally as a cannabis delivery platform. For years, the company was known as the “Uber of weed,” making it easy for people to order cannabis products straight to their homes.
But things took a turn last fall. Eaze Technologies Inc., the original company, filed for bankruptcy protection. Most of its assets were sold to a new business, now called Eaze Inc., which has taken over operations. This new version of Eaze is behind the recent San Francisco launch and continues to run the delivery app.
In short, the old Eaze is gone, but the brand itself has survived under new ownership.

Where is the new san francisco Eaze store located
The new store sits at 1685 Haight Street, right in the middle of Haight-Ashbury. That neighborhood has always been tied to counterculture and cannabis history, so the location is a natural fit.
If you know the Haight, you also know that the area has been seeing fresh energy lately, with new restaurants and bars opening. For example:
- The Green Heron is moving into the former Hobson’s Choice space.
- Mary’s on Haight is taking over where the Trax bar used to be.
Eaze is arriving at a time when the neighborhood is regaining momentum, which makes this comeback even more symbolic.
Does Eaze have other cannabis stores in california
Yes, San Francisco is not Eaze’s only retail move. The company already has stores in:
- Los Angeles
- San Diego
- Orange County
Now that the Haight-Ashbury store is open, Eaze says it is looking at expanding even further into the Bay Area and across California.
For a brand that once seemed like it was disappearing, this is a major turnaround.

What the reopening means for cannabis shoppers
If you are a cannabis consumer in San Francisco, this reopening means you now have another option in a city that already has a strong dispensary presence. But what makes this store stand out is the story behind it.
Eaze is not just another new brand trying to make it. It is a company that almost went under and is now trying to rebuild its reputation. For shoppers, that could mean a stronger focus on customer experience as the brand works to earn back trust.
Why haight-ashbury was chosen for the first store
The Haight is more than just a location. It is part of San Francisco’s identity when it comes to cannabis culture. Opening the first San Francisco Eaze store there feels intentional, almost like a homecoming.
For a brand founded in the city, returning to Haight-Ashbury is a way of saying it is not only back in business, but back where it belongs.
