MINTZ Cannabinoid & Smoke Shop

Ask anyone who shops at MINTZ Cannabinoid & Smoke Shop in Lorain and the first thing you'll hear about is the staff. This is a smoke shop that regulars keep coming back to as much for the people behind the counter as for what's on the shelves. Bee gets named again and again as the guy people ask for by name, greeting folks with a smile and pointing them toward the top shelf. Von has the same reputation, described by more than one local as a genuine gentleman who takes the time to help.

Names like B and Dylan come up too, and the word around town is that the whole crew is knowledgeable, quick to get you in and out, and happy to answer every question you throw at them. The selection covers CBD and hemp products, and people who shop here swear by the value. "Best prices in town" is a phrase that turns up over and over from folks in Lorain. There's a point system in play as well, so regulars stack up rewards toward free merchandise, which gives loyal shoppers one more reason to keep coming back.

It's the kind of place where the customer service feels personal rather than transactional. One regular put it best, saying they look forward to stopping in just to see how their favorite employee is doing, and that they'd drive the distance to keep shopping here even if they moved away. That kind of loyalty, plus a strong reputation across hundreds of visitors, tells you plenty about how MINTZ is regarded around here. One honest note: a few locals have shown up to find the doors closed earlier than the posted hours, so it's worth calling ahead if you're making a special trip.

That aside, for a friendly, fairly priced smoke shop in Lorain, MINTZ has earned its following.
