Mayor’s Family Business Goes Cannabis

A new cannabis shop just opened north of the Twin Cities, owned by Forest Lake’s mayor Blake Roberts — a family with deep roots in horticulture since 1930. After running a bagel shop and funeral home, they’re now embracing the cannabis industry, sparking community excitement. General Manager Josh Prestegaard, who battled pancreatic cancer, credits cannabis with giving him hope and helping him reconnect with life. Locals like Tess Cody are thrilled about the potential for healing and community support. The Roberts brothers are eyeing their own cultivation soon, while Mayor Roberts pledges to stay impartial on city council votes involving his business — proving how one family’s legacy is evolving with the times.
