On Friday, September 19, 2025, history was made in Merlin, Oregon as River City Retail officially became BUDZ River City. To celebrate this exciting new chapter, we threw a rebranding party that packed the house and set records for turnout.
A Day to Remember!
From the moment the doors opened, the energy was electric. Cannabis enthusiasts, loyal customers, and new faces alike came together to experience the new vibe of BUDZ River City. The parking lot was alive with food trucks serving up delicious eats, music filling the air, and friends sharing good vibes.
The highlight for many was the unbelievable product specials we rolled out just for the event. Guests were treated to:
What’s a party without prizes? Customers lined up for our raffles, with lucky winners walking away with premium cannabis products, merch, and more. The excitement of waiting for your number to be called only added to the buzz of the day.
The support from the community was overwhelming—this was our biggest turnout ever. Seeing so many people come out to celebrate the transition from River City Retail to BUDZ River City is a memory we’ll carry forward as we grow.
We want to thank every single one of you who showed up, celebrated with us, and helped make this event so special. BUDZ River City isn’t just a new name—it’s a fresh commitment to bringing Merlin and the surrounding area the very best in cannabis products, service, and experience.
Stay tuned—this is just the beginning of what’s to come at BUDZ River City.
