THE FOLLOWING IS A CANNISCO MEDIA RELEASE:

LURAY, Va. — Cannisco, formerly East Coast Collective, has announced a complete brand transformation, marking a new chapter for one of Virginia’s most trusted vertically-integrated hemp and cannabis wellness companies.

The rebrand reflects the company’s commitment to transparency, local craftsmanship, and delivering products that customers can trust.

Founded by Eric Spanbauer and Brett Gauthier, Cannisco operates from its headquarters in Manassas with cultivation facilities nestled in the Shenandoah Valley [Luray].

The company maintains complete oversight of its entire production process, from seed to sale, ensuring every tincture, edible, topical, and flower product meets rigorous quality standards.

“Our goal has always been to build something that stands apart, something built on integrity,” said a media spokesperson at Cannisco. “With this rebrand, we’re making it clear who we are and what we stand for. This is more than a new name — it’s the start of a new chapter for us and for Virginia’s hemp community, one where customers know their wellness products are made with care, honesty, and accountability.”

Cannisco’s seed-to-sale model sets the company apart in Virginia’s hemp industry.

By maintaining direct oversight of cultivation, processing, and product development, Cannisco eliminates the uncertainties that plague many competitors.

The company partners exclusively with certified processors and employs CO₂ extraction methods to preserve purity and potency. Each batch undergoes third-party lab testing to ensure safety, consistency, and regulatory compliance. This meticulous approach reflects Cannisco’s core mission: to create products with no mystery ingredients, no vague sourcing, and no compromise on quality.

The company’s Shenandoah Valley cultivation facility benefits from the region’s ideal growing conditions, while its Manassas headquarters serves as the hub for innovation and customer service.

The transition from East Coast Collective to Cannisco represents more than aesthetic changes. It’s a bold declaration of the company’s values and vision for the future of hemp wellness.

Cannisco aims to be recognized not only for its exceptional products but also for its principles, establishing itself as the best cannabis dispensary in Virginia for consumers seeking transparency and craftsmanship in every purchase.

The rebrand positions Cannisco to redefine modern hemp wellness through clean, sustainable, and locally crafted products.

By embracing radical transparency and uncompromising quality standards, the company invites consumers to experience hemp not as a commodity but as a cultivated expression of trust between grower and customer.
