\n Washington Ho\n <\/p>\n

Ho and four partners opened the first location of Pink Flora Co. in a 1,760 SF space at 3311 S. Shepherd Drive in Houston\u2019s Montrose<\/a> area on April 20, the Houston Business Journal reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The partners have a goal of opening 500 stores in the next five years and are already scouting potential locations in The Woodlands, Austin and Dallas.<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s\u00a0offerings include CBD and THC products, but only 30% of the inventory includes smokable products, insulating the store from a potential state ban<\/a> that is temporarily blocked<\/a> from taking effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pink Flora Co. also sells pre-workout products, energy drinks, supplements, edibles and vapes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re changing the name for what a dispensary is,\u201d Pink Flora Co. CEO Kazi Ashik said to the HBJ, adding that customers can find products that will \u201chelp you with your life\u00a0and biohacking and longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Shepherd Drive building was formerly a Chinese restaurant that closed in 2024. The space now features glass on three sides, evoking the vibes of an Apple Store, and pink sidewalks, chairs, walls, decor and lighting.<\/p>\n

Other Pink Flora Co. business partners include Mohammed Chowdhury, the owner of Houston-based smoke shop chain Bahama Mama. Ho became Bahama Mama\u2019s chief innovation officer last year with plans to grow and launch CBD and THC product lines, the HBJ reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ho previously produced a THC seltzer with high-profile Houston attorney Tony Buzbee<\/a>, but HoBuzz stopped production in spring 2024<\/a>\u00a0after less than a year.<\/p>\n

Last year, Ho co-founded WHGP Commercial<\/a>, a commercial real estate division of his White House Global Properties, with plans to develop an \u201ceater-tainment\u201d district near the Katy Mills mall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A group of partners, including Washington Ho, star of HBO Max reality show House of Ho, has major…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":758173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5130],"tags":[1749,11591,4345,311722,311723,311724,358,27949,3187,311720,311721],"class_list":["post-758172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-cannabis","tag-hemp","tag-houston","tag-kazi-ashik","tag-mohammed-chowdhury","tag-pink-flora-co","tag-texas","tag-tony-buzbee","tag-tx","tag-washington-ho","tag-white-house-global-properties"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116480481110293505","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
