permalink issue

If we need to have a look, explain in detail what the problem is [include URLs] and post valid WP admin details here.
Thanks

Also https://staging3.texasweedsyndicate.com/dispensary-near/ what is this page considered to be? GD archive was my guess. For some reason I can not get the location widget working on these pages.

That is indeed using the GD Archive template.
The “GD > Locations” should work there.
Caching issue?

It seems like pages like this are so close in content that they should just canonical to one or the other. Just a thought will see how google sees them or if they will be an issue for creating duplicate content.

The GD Archive and GD Location pages will look very similar if you do add the same content to both templates, and when you only have one CPT.
You can add Location specific content to the Location page using the Location Description widget and the the content you add at GD > Locations > Cities > edit City XXX > Location Description etc.
You can add Category specific content to the Archive page using the Category Description widget and the the content you add at GD > Places [or other CPT] > Place Categories > edit Category XXX > Category Top Description.

GD > Settings > General tab > Titles and Meta > Location page > Title

Thanks
