Carmelo Anthony announced the launch of his cannabis brand, STAYME7O (Stay Melo) and cannabis-focused agency, Grand National, in New York. The rollout to select retailers across the state will begin in April 2025.
"I'm excited to be launching the debut of STAYME7O in New York," Anthony said. "New York is home, and bringing this project to life here feels incredibly personal and full circle. This isn't just about cannabis—it's about empowering our communities, uplifting underserved entrepreneurs, and creating meaningful opportunities that support and celebrate our culture."
"Launching STAYME7O in New York alongside Carmelo exemplifies the type of projects Grand National is committed to—we build brands that authentically represent the culture and bring value and excitement to the market," said Jesce Horton, co-founder of Grand National and co-founder of the Minority Cannabis Business Association.
Grand National, the agency behind STAYME7O, was co-founded by Anthony, Horton and Pierce to strategically support cannabis brands and operators navigating today's rapidly evolving industry. Leveraging deep expertise in engineering, plant science, elite marketing, film production and global visibility, Grand National bridges the gap between innovation and execution.
