We've built what we help you build.
Not brokers. Not lawyers. Operators who have stood at the lectern as the applicant, in this city, on these corridors.
Ben Bleiman
President, SF Entertainment Commission
Wrote California's first Entertainment Zone law
Duncan Ley
President, SF Cannabis Retail Alliance
Three storefront dispensaries opened in the city
A Tonic Nightlife Group company, operating in San Francisco since 2010.
Why we started TNG Launch
We kept getting calls from people the city itself referred to us.
Friends, peers, and people referred by the city kept asking for help navigating what we had already figured out through our own business experience. Eventually it made sense to do it properly.
We are not brokers. We are not lawyers. We are operators.
12 Bars & Restaurants. 3 Cannabis Dispensaries. 2 Community Benefit Districts.
We've done this ourselves, many times.
