I really thought that the COVID pandemic would be the end of our business.
I had been building up our patron base for over 2 years, plus finally seemed care about I would start turning a healthy profit, when the lockdown hit, but for a few weeks things were shaky, I had no idea how I could survive in such an economic temperature.
Thankfully, our loyal customers were all reaching out to me, asking me to find a way to stay open. I am not the only cannabis dispensary in town, however for a lot of people I am their first plus only choice. One of our customers actually gave me the idea to start a cannabis delivery service, plus to offer curbside pickup. I ran with the idea, plus the next month I started hiring a series of weed delivery drivers to work for me! All of our weed delivery team were strictly required to wear masks plus gloves while in deliveries, plus to of course abstain from using any of the weed products, and no 1 had a problem with the safety protocols, however more than a few drivers ended up getting fired for sampling the cannabis products while at work. Once I had a good weed delivery team in locale, business picked up care about never before. Now that both of us are open for business care about normal again, the weed delivery side of things has still not slowed down. It seems that a lot of our customers got used to having their cannabis delivered to their front door, so weed delivery is a permanent area of our business model.
