Arizona opened it’s first drive thru last month. Colorado opened one earlier this year, Who’s next?
A few weeks ago, All Green’s opened it’s first medical marijuana drive thru. This also being Arizona’s first drive-thru for cannabis. All Green’s utilized an old drive-thru teller window of a remodeled bank to sell to its registered cannabis products.
Ganjapraneur had this to say about this story, “Anthony Harrington, CEO of All Greens, said that the company had developed rules for its drive-thru customers, such as having them register inside the store before being allowed to use the drive-thru service and requiring that they take off their hats to ensure their identity. He likened the service to a “Dutch Bros philosophy” and like the coffee shop employees, All Greens budtenders would be “out there facilitating the sale, engaging with the patient” and taking and confirming the order. “Some of them are coming in, have wheelchairs, have walkers, this is a lot more convenient atmosphere,” Harrington said in the report. “
The local news in their report mentioned some of the security features that were present at the dispensary. There are multiple camera’s (more than the bank next store…) and multiple levels of security that the customer needs to pass in order to leave with the purchased product. Convenient, but not necessarily a time saver. Earlier this year, regulators in Colorado also approved its first drive-thru dispensary, operated by Green Cross Colorado in Parachute. The dispensary, Tumbleweed Express, follows the same rules and regulations in other retail shops in the state.
With Arizona and Colorado opening their drive thru locations getting the approval, what does this mean for other legal states? Could you be next?
