Battle Creek used to close its cannabis stores at 9 p.m. In November 2022 the city commission voted to allow sales until midnight, after Vice Mayor Carla Reynolds argued that shoppers were driving to Emmett Township next door, where stores stayed open later. The change took effect November 11, 2022.
