Ohio-based CBD-infused products distributor and scheduled manufacturer CBD Health Collection celebrated earlier this month with the opening of its first brick-and-mortar retail location, where the company is headquartered in Granville, about 30 miles east of Columbus.
The Sept. 3, grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony featured special guests former NFL star Chris Spielman, bodybuilder Steve Slater and one-armed competitive mountain biker Charles “Scott” McDonald.

Spielman, former Ohio State All-American and Pro-Bowler with the Detroit Lions, partnered with CBD Health Collection earlier this year on a line of CBD products for active athletes and “weekend warrior” types.

Slater is the co-director of the Arnold Strongman Classic and a spokesperson for the CBD Health Collection line of products.
“Years of competing in the sport of strongman has left me with some aches and pains,” Slater said. “This product is a daily go-to helping to ease the pain. I love it and find it especially useful after workouts to help fight inflammation and soreness.”
