Council approves change in ownership structure for licensed marijuana business Thanos LLC
Summary
Westland City Council approved an ownership-structure amendment for Thanos LLC (8455 North Inkster) after the marijuana business selection committee and the Michigan CRA vetted nine incoming owners and recommended approval subject to conditions; council moved and passed the approval.
Westland City Council approved an amendment application allowing Thanos LLC, a licensed retail marijuana business at 8455 North Inkster, to modify its ownership structure without transferring the municipal license or relocating the business. Director Hwu summarized the selection committee review (02/18/2026) and said the committee — composed of city chiefs and staff — unanimously recommended approval after background checks and documentation were completed.
Attorney Hassan Zurer, representing the new ownership group, said the current sole owner, Jeffrey Yetuma, proposes to transfer ownership to a group of nine individuals who have been prequalified by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Zurer confirmed affidavits on file asserting no prohibited relationships with city officials and said the selection committee’s conditions, including background checks and assumption of existing obligations such as the community benefits agreement, have been satisfied. Council asked a few procedural questions, the attorney listed several principals from memory, and the council approved the amendment.
