Wyld, the Oregon-based maker of fruit-forward cannabis gummies and other edibles, is looking to fire up a new manufacturing facility in Bloomington and is now seeking the city's approval to do it. If the plan moves forward, the Twin Cities' still-young cannabis production scene could soon feature a nationally known edibles brand and a boost in local capacity for gummies and other infused products.
According to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, Wyld - described by the paper as the nation's top-selling cannabis edibles brand - has submitted plans asking Bloomington officials to sign off on a manufacturing operation in the city. The paper reported the filing on July 8, 2026.
Where the proposal fits in Bloomington's industrial mix
Bloomington has already started clearing space for cannabis production in light industrial buildings this year. That includes a roughly 4,350-square-foot "cannabis manufacturer" space on Grand Avenue that planners said would handle infusion work for edibles, vapes and pre-rolls. Finance & Commerce reported those earlier approvals and noted that city staff see most cannabis manufacturing impacts as similar to standard industrial uses.
The city has also attracted other manufacturing proposals, including a major Seagate expansion, which helps explain why industrial space is in such high demand, according to the Star Tribune.
Licensing and what comes next
Even if Bloomington gives Wyld the green light locally, the company would still need state authorization to manufacture cannabis products in Minnesota. Public data from the Office of Cannabis Management show that the manufacturer license category is competitive and that preliminarily approved applicants have 18 months to wrap up local approvals and submit final plans of record before a pre-licensure inspection. Those Office of Cannabis Management statistics also spell out how many manufacturer applications and preliminary approvals are still in the pipeline as the state works through build-outs and inspections.
Local process and community review
Bloomington's public-notice system details how the Planning Commission and City Council handle conditional-use permits and site-plan reviews, including public hearings and written comment periods that give neighbors and nearby businesses a formal chance to weigh in. The city's notices and meeting materials emphasize that local approval, engineering plans, odor-control measures and community feedback all factor into the schedule before any production line can start running.

If Wyld follows the path used by other operators, the near-term work will center on engineering, filtration and safety plans for an industrial build-out, followed by state inspections. Industry watchers say a national brand adding local production capacity could eventually ease supply constraints for edibles, but only after the company clears the same city and state checkpoints every other manufacturer has to pass.
