Small scale.
Specific meaning.
A starting point for understanding Missouri’s microbusiness cannabis category. This guide is informational, not legal advice or application assistance.
A defined licensing category.
Missouri’s microbusiness program creates a smaller-scale cannabis license category with eligibility requirements for majority owners. It is not a label for every small or independently owned dispensary.

One focused directory.
Microbusiness dispensary
The dispensary license covers the retail side of the program. Missouri Micro focuses on these facilities.
Microbusiness wholesale
The wholesale category covers authorized cultivation and manufacturing activities. It is distinct from the dispensary category, and wholesale facilities are not included in our directory.
DCR’s FAQs explain the permitted activities and the program’s restrictions on transfers between microbusiness and other facility types.

DCR’s licensee contact list includes active licensees whether or not they have approval to operate. Its locator and contact list have different coverage. We do not turn a record’s presence, address, or retrieval date into a claim that a storefront is open.
Our directory identifies which facts were supplied and which remain unconfirmed. The source record is always available for inspection.
