A friend and I are planning on opening up a dispensary in the future. The plan is to go into a state where it is just becoming legal and establish ourselves as one of the best growers in town. But we have a lot of questions that we needed to know from those who have experience with multiple dispensaries, those who have worked at one or multiple dispensaries, and those who own successful dispensaries. For those who are customers we wanted to know what you expect from a dispensary from customer service to prices and anything that you would like to see one ran. Also talk about unique experiences that you have went through while dealing with a dispensary. What do you like most about some dispensaries than others and what will kelp you coming back to that dispensary out of those other 300. P.S. do you think employees should wear uniforms or just look presentable.
For those who are dispensary owners we would like to know how you were able to get your business off the ground. What were the difficulties and how did you deal the the federal government, because we heard about the many raids that once plagued the industry everyday. What does it take to run your business and what do you look for in you're employees. Did you have to train them in order to teach them the difference in strains and what CBD and THC was. What is your workforce composed of. Are there strictly cashiers or do have people working in a lab testing as well. Also what are key aspects of your dispensary that you believe helps your business thrive. Do you recommend growing all the marijuana that you dispense or do you get a percentage from local growers and then a percentage of your own. Do you recommend the growing your own. Do you recommend purchasing from vendors. Which is more profitable. How do you make sure the marijuana that you receive is potent and not damaged from things such as spider-mites. What makes you stand out from the many dispensaries that surround you. Lastly how do you get involved with the community. I heard that dispensaries had to be non profit. How do you make sure you are financially stable while still giving back. And what type of organizations are you affiliated with. All help is appreciated. P.S. How do you keep your business safe I can imagine crooks attempting break ins what keeps you from tossing and turning at night worried about breaking and entering. Also what type of security do you have during the day.
Now the employees. What do you like about working at a dispensary. What benefits do you receive from your employer. What benefits would you like to receive from your employer. How would you feel about wearing a uniform, it probably would be a collar shirt or dress shirt with casual khakis. What is you pay i know it varies. What is your position in the store. Are you in lab,sales,or management. Also anything you would like to note would be great.
Thanks to all that participated. I know there are a lot of questions and some I must find out in my own. But all help is appreciated.
