Can Ohio Retailers Compete on Price Without Killing Margins?

Michigan price comparisons are now part of everyday conversations with Ohio customers, while operators are also trying to understand what good performance really looks like in a newer market. This session brings those two pressures together — pricing and performance — to show how retailers are responding in real time. Panelists break down how dispensaries are competing without racing to the bottom, using smarter pricing, product mix, and in-store strategy alongside real Ohio benchmarks for basket size, repeat visits, and category performance. Attendees will take away: how Ohio retailers are responding to cross-border price pressure; what realistic retail benchmarks look like in Ohio right now; how pricing, product mix, and education influence sales; and where operators are seeing margin pressure — and how they are adjusting.
