Germany’s largest cannabis retail chain opens its 14th store with 800 sustainable products – from seeds to CBD oil and cuttings
KEMPTEN (04.12.2024) – Hemp fans in Kempten can rejoice: Germany’s largest cannabis retail chain Hanf.com opened its first store in the Allgäu region on December 2, 2024. In the lively center of the Roman city, at Fischerstraße 3, customers can expect a wide range of around 800 products made from the versatile raw material hemp on 100 square meters – from CBD oils and food to cultivation accessories and hemp cosmetics.
The Kempten store offers around 70 product groups, including classic hemp products such as hemp teas and CBD oils as well as innovative items such as pet food, cosmetics and accessories for home cultivation. In line with the partial legalization of cannabis in Germany, which has allowed the cultivation of up to three plants since April 2024, customers can also find starter kits with seeds, cuttings and the necessary equipment such as tents, lamps and fertilizer.
“Our store is not just a store, but a place where we want to communicate the diversity and potential of hemp and promote responsible use of the plant,” explains store operator Jürgen Heppe (54), who is the first franchise partner to workwith Hanf.com.
Focus on sustainability and advice
“Our aim is to bring the people of Kempten closer to the sustainable and diverse possibilities of hemp – with high-quality products and individual advice,” emphasizes Heppe. At the same time, the store is intended to provide a central point of contact for cannabis patients who need individual advice and a wide range of services. Heppe lives in the vicinity of Kempten and has 20 years of experience as a successful freelancer. His previous activities include a bakery franchise and a frozen food home service, which he ran for 13 years. Now he has decided to venture into the hemp market as the first franchisee of Hanf.com.
Unique range for connoisseurs and the curious
Heppe is particularly excited about the opportunity to help shape the future of this emerging industry as a pioneer in the growing hemp franchise. In the former Backwerk store, right in the heart of Kempten’s city center, visitors can expect a carefully selected range of products to discover – an experience not to be missed.

A breath of fresh air for Kempten
According to Alex Cerveny, Managing Director of franchisor CWE Holding Europe GmbH, the new Hanf.com store brings fresh impetus to the region and adds a sustainable and future-oriented dimension to the local offering. “The opening not only highlights the versatility of the hemp plant, but also raises awareness of its sustainable use,” explains Cerveny.
In addition to selling high-quality products, Hemp.com places great emphasis on education. The focus is on CBD products and home cultivation. With individually tailored advice, the team supports its customers in selecting the right products – be it for promoting health, nutrition or sustainable household care. “Hemp is often reduced to the narcotic aspect, but the plant offers so much more. It is a versatile resource that can make an important contribution in the areas of health, nutrition and the environment,” emphasizes Cerveny.
Franchise system with a future
The Hanf.com franchise model offers entrepreneurs an attractive opportunity to gain a foothold in a fast-growing market. “Our system makes it possible to run a business with over 400 high-quality hemp products – from exclusive own brands to proven bestsellers,” explains franchise consultant Kai Koslick.
The franchise partners are supported by comprehensive training, individual advice and digital processes. “Hanf.com is not just a business, but an opportunity to get started in an innovative industry and experience personal and entrepreneurial growth,” adds Koslick. “The combination of a high-quality product range, a sustainable concept and professional support makes the Hanf.com franchise system a forward-looking opportunity for people with business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.”
