Burnsville is getting a new cannabis dispensary — and if you know the Riverwood Drive area, you know exactly the kind of neighborhood vibe it's going into.
Great Northern Greens is opening at 1100 Riverwood Dr, right across from Burnsville High School. The city approved their conditional use permit in February 2026, and the shop's website is already live with an “opening soon” status.
What Is Great Northern Greens?
They describe themselves as “not just a dispensary” — the branding leans into quality, transparency, and what they call a “sophisticated and reliable” cannabis experience. The tagline is “premium cannabis meets affordability,” which basically means they're pitching themselves at people who want good product without paying a premium store premium price.
This is an adult-use shop, so you'll need to be 21+ with a valid ID to shop there. No medical card required.
One thing worth noting: Great Northern Greens is licensed as a cannabis microbusiness under Minnesota state law. That means they're not just a retailer — they also grow and process their own cannabis on site. It's a smaller-scale, vertically integrated operation, which is different from the big multi-state operators that have been moving into the Twin Cities market. If locally grown, locally sold is your thing, this one's worth watching.
What Will They Sell?
No menu is live yet — the website currently shows placeholder product pages, which is pretty standard for a shop that hasn't opened yet. But based on their branding and the standard Minnesota adult-use dispensary lineup, you can expect flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, beverages, and concentrates once they're open.
They're also emphasizing transparency about what's in their products, which has become a real differentiator in the cannabis retail space. Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management sets the testing and labeling requirements for all licensed dispensaries, so any shop operating legally in the state has to meet those standards.
Burnsville already has Green Goods on Burnhaven Drive operating as an adult-use dispensary. Great Northern Greens would be the second adult-use option in the city — and the first on this side of town.
The Bottom Line
No opening date has been announced yet, but the permit is done and the website is live, so they're clearly getting close. Keep an eye on greatnortherngreens.com for updates on when they'll flip the sign to “open.”
