Our story
From Kennesaw to Georgia and Florida
Cloud 9 started in Kennesaw, Georgia, in 2012, founded by Kennesaw State University students. Since then, Cloud 9 has grown to stores across Metro Atlanta, Cobb and Cherokee counties, Athens, Macon, Columbus, Milledgeville, Rome and the Florida Panhandle. Each store is part of its neighborhood.
We've grown, but we're still family-owned. That means real people make the decisions, every store is held to the same standard, and we answer to our customers and the communities we serve.
