First Impressions: Harvest first, even though we went to the them last aesthetically, this is the nicest place we went to today by far. I will talk about the other place here in a minute, but, now I’m, again, this place has got their shit together. They grow their own product. This seems to be very New Mexico owned and New Mexico catered. It even looks like a New Mexico joint inside wood. Beautiful aesthetics, very sweet, nice knowledgeable people. Yes. I think we both felt the same thing. I think they deal with downtown customers too much and she apologized way too much mainly because she probably has to.
Menu: Yeah, she was apologizing on prices on sizes and it was like, you don’t need to apologize to get it. But I felt that way too, of probably dealing with a lot of really picky customers.
Deals: They had a rewards program, they had it all one room. It’s not separated by anything. It’s one big open space you do check in, you do have the lines. They seem like everybody else. They cater to the medical first, uh, rec second. But again, you know, four 30 on a Friday or on a Wednesday, there’s nobody here. So we just rolled right in, you,
They had a happy hour, which was really cool, different than any other place. So they offered, discounts during this happy hour time, which I thought was a great idea. made it feel like more of that bar feel of walking in getting what you need at the good prices.
Yeah, it was really, really nice. it’s the old, the old insurance building. It is caged up, but you know what out where it is right on St. Francis. I don’t blame ’em it doesn’t look bad. It’s an old iron that looks like real like Spanish iron. So it looks nice. even though there’s a big cage around it and all that kind of stuff, they
Were the only dispensary we would walked into today that actually a flower out , it wasn’t fully out. Like we couldn’t actually like see it,
But she did offer if we were ready to purchase flower, we could smell it. and they offered it in a deli style, which I thought was pretty cool. none of the other places had it out for you to even view it and here they had it where you could see it under a microscope, check it out and really see the quality.
They are the exact everybody’s exact same price on the pre-rolls. For the ounce, it wasn’t even close. This place was the cheapest place in town. Like they said, what an ounce? $170 bucks.
What? $170 for an ounce, which, oh my God is unreal. That’s like Colorado prices.
Yeah. Everywhere else was pushing 300 . So, you know, for the, the bulk pricing and, and they also sold shake and popcorn, which I don’t know if the other places did, they didn’t advertise it. These guys totally did. It was a very great price for that. And for all of those mixture, people like my dad and everybody else, else that is just prime, the
Old school smokers that will feel like that every single person in here talked to us they said, thank you. They greeted us. They let us know, you know, have a great day. They were, they were on it. Every person in here was customer service, top
Notch. Yeah. Top notch. And they, they did both, butane and non-chemical hash, which you don’t see very often. Usually people will do the, the chemical hash first.
they made their own, which was kind of cool. They did it all!
Their own shed and they they’d actually been a grower well, before they became a storefront so we, we thought that was kind of cool too.
They’d been around for a long time. the place we went to before this was CGS, CGS, CGS, what? By the foe. Yeah. Early kind of tucked away, early street, huge,
Building nice little facility. little bit under construction. it seemed like they, they were getting ready to do something in one of their extra rooms. great customer service that the guy was great. He related his personal experiences to his selling experience, which I thought was impressive. didn’t have flour out, but was able to really talk up what he did have in stock, which was cool.
They knew about all the products exactly. You know, what we were looking for, what we, so we didn’t have any questions you couldn’t answer off top of his head, uh, again, loyalty program. I think they’re all kind of moving that way. Uh, you know, the parking lot was a little bit, but we only hit one wall, so we’re fine. Uh, outside of that was a great little star front great spot. Great.
But nice. And, like organized, they had a really nice setup where it was very, here’s what we have. This is the display we have, which I thought was appreciated. I appreciated yeah. Seeing what they had in front of me. what
Else do you think the, yeah, the only other thing I think there is that if it did have a rush of people, like meaning more than two, you’d probably be waiting in the lobby, but again, there’s there’s most places were like that this harvest was big, which you could tell, can handle a lot of people. but it was very comfortable, not like that. The Catamount place, like that, has a lot of space, but doesn’t add a lot of product. So what’s the point? Yeah. and nowhere to sit. So, you know, no, all of all, you know, I all four, I think all four were very legit spots. This harvest was probably one of mine, I enjoyed it too aesthetically. And the fact that they’re New Mexico and they’ve been around and they, they, you know, all that stuff.
If I were to pick harvest and then I’d rank Greenleaf, the second
And green Leaf’s a second. Yeah.
Was very similar. local growers, local producers loved that they were super knowledgeable. I thought they had great customer service at CG. The guy was really nice. He knew his stuff about his product, but, uh, and what I did like about them was they used a local producer for all their third party products. So, everything did come from New Mexico. They just didn’t make everything in house, which was kind of cool. And outside of that, I would say they were my third. And the first one we saw was my fourth.
Those would be nice. I like that. I think I’m very similar on all of those things. I will say this about, uh, all of the customer service was awesome. I think everybody kind of was dialed into what they were selling. I think the first place we went was probably more skittish than UN knowledgeable. I think it was just kind of hard. And I think one of the things like in all sales, you just got to have that pop in personality, but, you know, but again, nice understood everything that we were doing and looking forward and all that kind of stuff. So it was all real good. And,
I think they just had the mentality of, do you know what you want? Let us sell you what you want. They didn’t try to provide us with knowledge on any other products. It was, this is what we have. Do you like it? Cool. We’ll sell it to you. every other place we went to today was able to really, before we even asked, let us run you down with how we do things. Let us talk to you about our products. Let us show you what we have in stock and then explain to us, Hey, this one’s not in stock, but this is what I would go with. If you didn’t have it, because we don’t have that. And the first place it was, what do you want? You tell us everywhere else was, let us show you what we can provide you.
