MUSKEGON, MI – The city of Muskegon’s second-ever cannabis microbusiness, IndiGrow, is now open for business.
IndiGrow is owned by Karen and Steven Kekelik, who began creating the business in 2019.
The microbusiness officially opened on Tuesday, Nov. 29 inside a renovated 1909 manufacturing building at 639 W. Clay Ave. in downtown Muskegon.
Unlike the cannabis dispensaries in the area, the new licensed cannabis microbusiness has the ability to grow, process and sell cannabis from their location; no outside products permitted.
Steven Kekelik touts the business as truly small-batch cannabis.
“It’s a different cannabis model, a closed loop if you will, where we have total control over the plant cultivation, harvesting, curing, processing and sales,” he said.

The facility is home to several grow rooms for plants at different stages of maturity, a processing lab and a kitchen for making edibles.
“There are people that have never seen how cannabis grows, is harvested and processed,” Karen Kekelik said. “We’ve built a facility that allows tours, and we welcome people who want a peek behind the curtain.”
The cannabis microbusiness specializes in cannabis flights, a trio of cannabis flowers in 1/8 oz containers that allow people to smell, taste and feel the different effects of each strain.
“Like a beer flight at a microbrewery, a cannabis flight is the best way to find your favorite cannabis strain,” Karen Kekelik said.
In addition to cannabis flower, the microbusiness also produces pre-rolls, edibles and concentrates that are tested at an independent laboratory and not remediated, the news release said. A full list of products and accessories is available online.
“We nurture our plants from seed to harvest and believe the quality, look and feel of each strain will be obvious to the consumer,” Steven Kekelik said. “We look at what the plant needs and follow that versus forcing the plants into a timeline that doesn’t bring out the best product.”
IndiGrow will host a ribbon cutting on Friday, Jan. 6. A grand opening celebration planned for Saturday, Jan. 7.
