“Our inventory will be very extensive and we are bragging it will be larger than any other dispensary around,” Sholar said. “It is all about local and the community for us. We can’t wait to start giving back to Godfrey, Alton and helping out the community. I do care a lot about that for this business. Our selection is up and running and it will be great.”
Eddie said the variety of gummies will be great at the dispensary, along with the typical flowered cannabis and some preroll products.
“We will have daily specials,” he said. “We have a very wide selection of gummies.”
