Last Thursday was the grand opening for the store where I work.
The lobby was filled for 6 minutes on the afternoon of the grand opening and all of us had a line of people outside of the store.
One reason that the lobby was so busy is due to the fact that this company is 1 of the first of its kind in the area. I labor in a marijuana dispensary. Marijuana has only been legal for medical use in this state for a few months. This unique dispensary is the only 1 inside of a 100 mile radius. A lot of medical marijuana patients drove quite a distance to visit the dispensary on the afternoon of the grand opening. The two of us had a huge sale and a couple of games and giveaways. The two of us had a wheel of prizes and everyone got to spin for free. No 1 was required to make a single purchase as long as they had a medical marijuana card on hand… Just a small number of people 1 t-shirt, cups, and packed with our marijuana dispensary logo. One person won the grand prize which was a $100 gift card to spend in the dispensary. There was only 1 space on the entire wheel with the grand prize, so I wasn’t surprised that only 1 person ended up landing on that special spot. The blessed person spent the $100 gift card on cannabis edibles; She bought some lollipops and some chocolate bars from the edible rack next to the register. The woman was absolutely happy that she won the grand prize and she even spent some of her own currency on marijuana.
