SUMMARY: A cannabis dispensary called Bless Goat held a soft opening after five weeks of construction at the Oak Square shopping center in Pass Christian. The owners chose the location on Firetower Road due to its ideal spot and patient needs. Despite the ongoing development of a nearby Buc-ee’s store, they believe the construction could either help or hurt their business. The location was chosen based on customer demand for convenience, especially for those traveling from areas like Diamondhead and Bay St. Louis. Bless Goat will have its official opening on Saturday, February 1st, at 10:00 a.m.

While a well-known beaver store begins to take shape just off I-10 in Harrison County, a nearby strip mall is also beginning to fill up.
