How and when did your dispensary start up?
We opened in Colorado Springs in 2009. We lost a close friend to cancer but saw first hand the real value of marijuana and what an important part it played in her battle with this disease. Our friend did not have the option of purchasing medical marijuana in a dispensary and we saw there was a real need to provide patients access to medical marijuana in a safe and professional environment so It became an important industry for us to be involved in.
What’s the story behind the name of your shop?
Todays Health Care – T. H. C!
What does your dispensary offer clients that they can’t find anywhere else? What do you specialize in, if anything?
I have always felt one of the things lacking in this industry is professional employees. We strive for excellent customer service and have a very low employee turnover. Our patients enjoy seeing the same friendly faces each time they shop with us.
What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as a dispensary? . . . Biggest joys?
The industry as a whole is more accepted however the issues of it’s federal illegality still causes challenges for us, such as banking and the overall perception of people who work in and operate medical marijuana businesses. Biggest Joys? We have the best patients! It’s great to see new patients excited over their first visit and I love seeing folks that have been shopping with us for four and five years. They are all like family; their loyalty blows me away.
What is the one thing you want patients to know about your dispensary?
We offer affordable meds to Colorado patients in a safe and friendly environment.
If someone wanted to open a dispensary and get their feet wet in the industry, what advice or counsel would you give them?
Not sure, it’s been a tough road but if you have the passion you can make it work.
What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the MJ/MMJ community?
We have worked very hard to maintain professionalism in a challenging industry and I hope this lends to seeing more credibility and legitimacy of the industry.
