VENICE, CA - MARCH 20, 2024 - - Pedestrians walk past the now closed MedMen cannabis store on Abbot Kinney on March 20, 2024. A pair of signs on the front windows says that the store is closing temporarily. In the summer of 2018, cannabis retailer MedMen opened a boutique shop on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice - "the coolest block in America," as the company hyped in a press release at the time. But, in the years that followed, the once rapidly expanding company began to unravel. Their stock plummeted to zero and recently they abruptly closed most of their California locations, including the one on Abbot Kinney, at least temporarily. (Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times)
