Because of the location of the cannabis shop, traffic can be a real nightmare on the weekends.
The cannabis shop is located on the corner of a main thoroughfare.
There easily isn’t any parking on the street as well as we only have a small lot in the back of the dispensary! When there is a sale or some kind of event, we have to hire an extra security guard to manage parking as well as traffic. The state as well as the county will not cover the cost for the extra help, even though the streets would not fall under my responsibility officially. This year on 4/20, we expected a pretty massive crowd of people. We featured our sales as well as specials all throughout the month of March. We had some relatively nice sales as well as a lot of vendors were going to be present in the cannabis shop that day. We had more than a dozen odd BOGO sales listed on the website. I arrived at the cannabis shop roughly 20 minutes before we opened. There was already a line of people out on the street, waiting to make their way into the building. The parking lot was filled with cars as well as a couple of people who happened to be double-parked. I told the security officers that we were going to have a relatively long day. The parking lot was filled with cars all weekend as well as the street was totally busy. I heard honking horns throughout most of the day. Happily there were no accidents as well as no instances of road rage. Even though the store was significantly busier than usual, we didn’t have any issues with keeping the crowd under control.
