Short answer

Why was The Garden Camp Washington a first for King City Gardens?

The Cincinnati Business Courier's September 12, 2025 preview, carried by Local 12 with photos, covered The Garden in Camp Washington. It described the store as King City Gardens' first local dispensary, among the first Cincinnati dispensaries with a drive-thru, and a step toward full vertical integration.

For a grower, opening a store changes the job. Liz Engel of the Business Courier organized her preview around that shift: The Garden in Camp Washington was King City Gardens' first dispensary in the area, with another expected soon after.

She counted it among the first Cincinnati dispensaries with a drive-thru. It was also the first time King City Gardens' own flower and merchandise would sit on its own shelves, next to other brands.

Local 12 ran the preview with photos of The Garden, King City Gardens' first Cincinnati dispensary, and the Cincinnati Business Courier holds the full walk-through of the Camp Washington store.
