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.
Incredible Cannabis Deals
The highlight for many was the unbelievable product specials we rolled out just for the event. Guests were treated to:
$5 ounces (yes, you read that right!)
Deep discounts across our top-shelf strains, edibles, and concentrates
Exclusive day-of-only pricing that had the shelves moving fast
These deals made it a day cannabis fans won’t forget anytime soon.
Prizes, Raffles & Big Wins
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.
