Meet Midwest Cannabis Pioneers: Hear From Jared Maloof, CEO Of Ohio's Standard Wellness

The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference is returning to Miami beach for another amazing gathering, which you don't want to miss. On April 11-12, 2023, events will be taking place simultaneously on two stages at the historic Fontainebleau Hotel.
As part of celebrating individuals, entrepreneurs and organizations doing amazing things in the cannabis industry, Benzinga will feature Jared Maloof, CEO of Standard Wellness Company, LLC.

Founded in 2017 by Maloof and friends, Ohio-based Standard Wellness is a vertically integrated multistate operator with a footprint that extends to Utah, Missouri and Maryland.

Maloof, who worked in the past for KPMG and led the sale of a $5 billion-revenue company, has extensive experience in commodities, particularly metals. After a successful career as an executive in the sector, he joined forces with his friend Kevin Murphy who was already in cannabis and had participated in lobbying efforts for medical marijuana in Ohio.

Pioneers In The Midwest, Experts In Limited Licence States

“We were the first vertically integrated company in the state of Ohio. It was 2019 when the program finally launched, and the first sale of cannabis in Ohio was from our dispensary on January 16 of that year,” Maloof said in a 2022 interview.

Standard Wellness is focused on limited license states as in the case of Utah, Maloof pointed out. “Because we are wholesale, we have cultivation and processing, so we sell our branded product through all dispensaries. In Utah – where they’re called pharmacies – there are only 15 dispensaries in the state to do all the sales.” 

Meet Jared Maloof and many others like him in April at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference and stay with us at Miami Beach’s historic Fontainebleau Hotel. Don't miss out on a chance to hear about future market forecasts and worldly advice on investing and finance from experts involved in the cannabis industry.
