Not a bad looking Black Friday sale on the surface that they have going through the week. But I am a creature of habit and I couldn't help but notice all of my brands went from say, $40 to $44 or $27 to $30. Kinda odd for that price hike to happen the same week of these supposed "super sales" Tactics like this leave a bad taste in the consumers mouth. Posted some proof here for those interested. Literally make these purchases every week so these aren't from forever ago or anything. Not to mention the brands provided in the photo aren't even related so trying to blame this convenient price hike on a particular grower isn't even an excuse. Very clear the whole store had a price hike to make people think they are getting an extra bargain when in reality nothing has changed and the owners make the same amount of profit they had previously. You can't even really trust any positive reviews you see, as they offer discounts/points for a positive post, you need only go and show them proof you posted. Gross tactics. UPDATE 12/10/23: In response to the owners reply, let us break down the math. Before the price hike, using the Fifty Fold 3.5g jar as an example, you paid $40. Using the best weekly day sale at the time, you could get 25% that price, resulting in you paying $30 for that jar. Now, it is true during specifically the *40% Black Friday sale* only on that Friday you are FINALLY getting a discount and paying a price lower than BEFORE the price hike. HOWEVER.... 40% sale is gone, the price hike is not. Even with the "Upgraded" weekly sale revamp, using the best scenario, a 30% discount on the PRICE HIKED $44 Fifty Fold 3.5g, you now pay $30.80, of course they round up, so you actually pay $31. But that is only if you get in on the perfect sale day, which has all been rearranged, so now the day you used to be able to go in for a discount on your product might not even apply! The result? You just plain pay for the price hike! But lets get into the REAL BIG ISSUE. Why, in a store full of product that SLOWLY EXPIRES while exposed to all the lights, would for some reason, one day, the whole stores product suddenly INCREASE in value? That is awfully bizarre. Flower and oil that has been in the store for weeks and months, suddenly got a price hike? It wasn't new product that arrived. They just increased the price on everything in the store. The result? Sure, for Black Friday you might have saved LITERALLY only an additional dollar than normal, but now, weekly, you are paying a dollar more for product((IF you get in on the PERFECT sale day)). That isn't an improvement for anyone but the owners profit margins. It might have made sense if as *new* product arrived you started to increase the price on each brand as it arrived. But sorry, suddenly thinking all your aged product is worth an increase in price? Overnight? Laughable. Nice try though. It was fun breaking down your response to show just how badly you are trying to milk the community that just wants their medicine. Plain disgusting you try and defend your profit margins and gaslight your consumers into thinking you increased your savings when in reality you are Nickle and diming people. Truly a joke of a display for the industry.

Love this shop! Dylan is phenomenal! So helpful, really uses his knowledge of product and the parameters I share with him to find me the perfect selection of products. He’s even put me on to some products I would have never thought to try! Overall the best experiences I’ve had in weed shops.

My first time there today, the staff is so friendly and the prices are reasonable, they made me feel very comfortable. They have sales every week on Fridays and Saturdays, which is awesome! They also have a rewards program. It's a 10 minute walk from where I live, and I will definitely be going back!
