RIZE Marquette (Recreational Cannabis)

This place is the best of them all. I’ve been to a few around the area and this is by far the best. Really good environment and nice store. Employees are cool as hell. I got helped by a really cool dude named Joe. Super kind, courteous, personal-able, and I could go on. Dispos can be overwhelming and he made it easy, simple, and educated me along the way. Thank you to Joe & RiZe! I’ll be back

I love this place it's my go to place for all my needs. The pricing is fantastic. There deals are bombing and I do feel at home when I walk in. I love the people who work here. Very kind, knowledgeable and patient loving friends to be made. (This is an all day drive for me, there are closer places then this.) But I truly love this place. The atmosphere is inviting and the deals/pricing is hard to beat. Fluffy enjoyed meeting her new friends too

Full disclosure: I was part of the staff that opened this store in 2021. Not long after open, I found it necessary to leave the cannabis industry for my other day job. When it comes to Michigan cannabis retailers there's two major categories, the corporate juggernauts and the clearly independent retailers. Technically, I'd say Rize definitely skirts the corporate side even though they only have a handful of shops in the U.P. When you get in the shop, after showing your ID (there are no anonymous cannabis sales in Michigan) you enter a very clean, very commercial environment. LIke most, well stocked, cannabis retailers they have a variety of brands you'll recognize, but they also have a few that are more exclusive to their stores in the region. Those products tend to be on the more bargain-side, then, when it comes to flower, you'll find some common mid-priced "premium" brands (Redemption, Fawn River, Chronicseur, Society C) along with their vertically integreted Royal Trees family on their higher end. They don't carry any of the "high end" Michigan brands, but quite often those brands have just marketed well and the products aren't superior. That's pretty much the game across the board. As someone who worked inventory I can say that Rize's purchasing guidelines are a bit stricter and more corporate than other retailers. Now, when it comes to concentrates you're more likely to find higher end brands, a big reason being Royal Trees tends to collaborate with multiple Cannabis Cup awardee Uplift'N. I often joke that Rize is the Applebees of weed; they allow you to keep a bit of your personality, but still need you to be a good corporate worker bee; you always know you're going to be able to get a decent quality product, if not the best; it's clean and well stocked with a very commercial feel; and well, if you know you know on the last one (but if you do know it's pretty funny). Honestly, Rize tends to get maybe 1/6 of my business when they hit with good deals. Marquette currently has the cheapest prices of quality product in the world so it's hard for a conscientious price shopper, like myself, to be strictly loyal to one company. In the end, a good place to go for newbies and price shoppers will often find themselves happy. One of the better establishments in Marquette.

This place has a good selection of products at different price points. I shop here because of the crew. They all are nice and knowledgeable. I like seeing Jake most. He always is in a contagious good mood!

Wonderful service, helped me out with getting ice for my freshly injured elbow too 😆 thanks guys!

Atmosphere was very friendly and inviting, answered all my questions! Was passing thru the area from my doctors appointment from the Sault are Marie area and thought I would try something different! So glad I did. Awesome selection of product and great discounts! Robert was a great associate and awesome customer skills!

Came here while I was traveling from Minnesota. This was the only dispensary that had any infused prerolls in the U.P.! I normally go to medical dispensaries since I'm a medical card holder but like I said, this was the ONLY place that had what I was looking for! Clean facility! Friendly staff!! Great products at good prices!! In store shopping was a plus! Thanks!!

You guys have absolutely horrible flower, and I wasted my money on what I thought was going to be good flower. Smells like nothing but mold. The smoke itself smells so stale, like I’m burning hay. Please, please stop growing cannabis and leave it up to the people who know what they’re doing because you’re wasting precious resources on making a god awful product. I feel as if I deserve a refund for the ounce I purchased. The ounce I purchased was cultivated by you, Royal Trees, and I’’m HIGHLY disappointed in the quality. It smells very moldy. It has absolutely no flavor. It smokes god awful. The smell of the smoke smells like burning hay. For an OTD price of $141, the quality of the bud could’ve easily been priced at $50. I don’t think it’s fair at all to be so misleading with the prices. It’s not always that the more expensive you buy means a higher quality, but for what I got for $141 cultivated by Royal Trees, you guys should go out of business. The bud you produce would only be seen as good through the eyes of a kid smoking in middle school the first time.
