Where Is Ooze Located? Headquarters and Michigan Identity

Oak Park is in Oakland County. Ooze's brand operations, its distribution business (Ooze Wholesale, now Cannatron) and the Ooze Foundation are all based in the city. This site does not publish street addresses; the companies' own channels list business contact details.

Yes. It was founded in Michigan, is headquartered there, and is owned by Michigan natives. Vincent Ayar has described the company as proud of its hometown. Much of its shipping, marketing and design staff is local.

The products are sold well beyond Michigan, which is why some shoppers assume the brand comes from elsewhere. It does not; it is a Metro Detroit business with national reach.

The first space was a 2,000 square foot warehouse. By September 2019 the company occupied about 42,000 square feet. Rather than relocating to a cheaper region as it scaled, the company expanded where it started.

As general context, keeping design, marketing and shipping under one roof shortens the loop between deciding something and seeing it in a box. For a company whose co-founder oversees design and development, being able to walk from the design desk to the shipping floor is a practical advantage.

From Oak Park, products move through a network of more than 500 distributors to over 8,000 retail shops in the US and Canada. A Michigan base has not limited the brand's audience, which Vincent has said it builds for nationally.

This is Vincent Ayar's personal site, not the company's, so it does not handle orders, warranty claims or retail accounts. For those, use Ooze's official channels. For questions directed to Vincent personally, including press and community inquiries, use the contact page here.

It is unusual for a mid-sized consumer brand to keep its brand team, its wholesale operation and its charitable foundation in the same small city. In Ooze's case, Oak Park is all three, which is why the company's name and the city's name so often appear together.

It also means the company's employment, its shipping volume and its giving are all concentrated in one community, a level of local commitment that has stayed constant from the first small warehouse to the current facility.
