Former Binghamton Paint Store Won’t Be Going to Pot

A marijuana retail business will not be setting up shop at the site of a former paint store on Binghamton's West Side.

Vivid Wellness LLC was awarded a state license for a cannabis store at 242 Main Street last October.

The small building just east of Glenwood Avenue had been home to Daniels Paint and Decorating Center for decades.

The property is owned by Albert Scherer, who said the building had been under contract to be sold but the deal fell through.

Scherer had operated Daniels Paint until the business was acquired by another company in September 2023.

Scherer said he had waited for about one-and-a-half years to finalize the property sale but it never happened.

Although a cannabis retailer won't be opening at the site, another business is preparing to move into the building.

Guaillas Roofing of Middletown has started renovations to establish a showroom at the Main Street location.

Company owner Luis Guaillas said he expects the Binghamton site to open by the end of this month.
