Greenspoon Marder Partner Aliya Nelson Advises GreenCup on Queens Licensing & Corporate Structuring Ahead of Grand Opening

July 9, 2025

New York – July 7, 2025 – Greenspoon Marder is thrilled to celebrate the official grand opening of partner Aliya Nelson’s client, GreenCup, the largest bespoke cannabis dispensary in Queens, New York. Located at 95-38 Queens Blvd., Rego Park, NY 11374, GreenCup will host its opening celebration from July 10-12 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

GreenCup’s journey to opening day was guided by Ms. Nelson, who advised the company on cannabis licensing, corporate structuring, and ongoing corporate services. The grand opening also celebrates the leadership of licensee Darryl “Shabazz” Bogan, whose efforts helped bring the dispensary to life and bring a personalized, community-driven retail cannabis experience to Queens.

“Our Grand Opening is not a transaction; it’s an invitation to gather in the warmth of each other’s stories, to recognize that we are each a note in this chorus that is Rego Park,” said Shabazz.

“Watching GreenCup open its doors is incredibly rewarding,” said Nelson. “This launch represents more than a dispensary, it’s a bold step forward for Queens and for the broader New York cannabis market.”

The team at Greenspoon Marder congratulates GreenCup on this major milestone and looks forward to continuing to support their growth and innovation in the space. Learn more at greencup.nyc.
