She said that they have been chasing the opportunity for a couple of years now.
“It’s been a long journey, to say the least,” Comisky explained. “We signed up with Spiritleaf almost two years ago, and we were part of those initial lotteries.”
“We were unsuccessful, obviously. But we’ve just been moving forward the best we can.”
She says they signed on with Spiritleaf because the company’s commitment to education and customers.
“They’re not intimidating at all for any of those new customers or new people to the industry,” Comisky explained.
“We’re also offering in-store pickup and delivery so that we can accommodate all of our customers the best way we know how to,” Comisky added.
When the store opens Wednesday morning, masks will be required as they are required at all retail outlets in the area.
