How and when did your store start up?
We opened February 13, 2016 as a second location to our Tacoma location.
What’s the story behind the name of your store?
We are an art gallery that just so happens to sell marijuana.
What does your store offer customers that they can’t find anywhere else?
Genuine customer service. From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted with a smile, and our budtenders assure every visit is a great one.
How has the cannabis industry changed since you have been in the business? Where would you like to see it go?
We’ve seen huge growth in the industry. More shops, products and different ideas are always emerging. We’re hoping the cannabis industry continues reaching its arms across more states so everyone can have safe access to marijuana.
What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as a retail store? Biggest joys?
Not being able to carry every vendor, so many great products but not enough shelf space. One of our biggest joys is helping a customer who has never tried marijuana and providing them with what they will try for their first experience.
What is the one thing you want customers/ patients to know about your store?
We have a staff that truly cares about our customers. Come give us a shot, you’ll be glad you did.
If someone wanted to open a retail store and get their feet wet in the industry, what advice or counsel would you give them?
Make sure to have a nice store layout, awesome staff and great location.
What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the cannabis community?
We would like to continue growing with the industry and shaping it in a positive way that removes the negative stigma it has carried.
