Kaya Holdings, Inc. KAYS

Company Overview

Kaya Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based cannabis company primarily engaged in the retail sale of legal marijuana products. The company operates within the regulated cannabis industry, focusing on adult-use and medical cannabis markets where permitted by state law. Its core activities center on operating branded cannabis dispensaries and developing a vertically integrated cannabis retail platform.

The company’s primary revenue driver is retail cannabis sales through its Kaya Shack™ dispensaries, which offer cannabis flower, concentrates, edibles, and related products sourced from licensed producers. Kaya Holdings positions itself as a brand-focused, compliance-driven operator targeting local consumer markets rather than large-scale cultivation. Founded in 2014, the company initially pursued both domestic and international cannabis opportunities, including early exploration of cannabis legalization frameworks abroad, before narrowing its strategy to U.S. retail operations due to regulatory complexity and capital constraints.
