PRESS ROOM: THE NEW YORK TIMES SPOTLIGHTS CANNA PROVISIONS

When an opportunity arises to be part of a focused marijuana industry article in the New York Times, with the below headline, it’s the sort of thing you want to be a part of as a woman-owned independent cannabis dispensary in Massachusetts:

Why the Pandemic Was a Breakout Moment for the Cannabis Industry

And before that headline launched and was aggregated via the Times engine to multiple countries (not to mention across the United States), the Canna Provisions crew already knew it to be true in various ways.

Just take it from our CEO Meg Sanders, once again proving why she’s one of the most dynamic, thoughtful, and experienced retail cannabis executives in the United States.

From the original New York Times story here:

When clients call Canna Provisions, the first voice they hear is that of an adept budtender — sometimes Sanders herself — who guides them through the shopping experience. From suggesting strains — like the locally grown Stardawg (Corey Cuts) Smash Hits, a relaxing and uplifting hybrid with “a tendency to turn philosophical,” as the company’s website puts it — to processing the order, each phone guide provides the same dedicated attention that clients would experience at the shop.

“And it’s working,” Sanders said. “In our Lee store, preorders have become almost 100% of our business, so we bought more handsets and hired more people to answer the phones, and our revenue is up.”

When COVID restrictions for retail operations eased last summer, Canna Provisions opened its second shop, inside a 150-year-old brick paper mill in Holyoke, Massachusetts. At the new 4,000-square-foot location, Sanders and her team can once again offer their guide-led customer-service experience. She described the way cannabis tourists explore the space and take in all the curious design elements: antique rubber stamps, reclaimed metal signs and the figurine of a T. rex smoking a joint.

“We set out to make a destination,” she said. “And we nailed it.”
