Mythos

MedMen was an American cannabis retailer founded in 2010 by Adam Bierman and Andrew Modlin, briefly one of the most-recognized brands in legal cannabis — branded around minimalist, apparel-style retail design that earned it the early-press nickname "the Apple Store of weed" — before a sustained financial decline ended in bankruptcy.

At its 2018–2019 peak the company operated dispensaries across California, Nevada, New York, Massachusetts, Arizona, Illinois, and Florida and was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange as MMEN, with a market capitalization in the low billions. From 2019 onward it was hit by a cascade of issues: cash burn, legal disputes with co-founders and lenders, restated financials, sharply contracting share price, and the broader cannabis-industry downturn that followed federal-legalization delays. MedMen filed for bankruptcy protection in 2024, and most of its U.S. dispensaries were either closed or sold to other operators in the months following.
