It's easier than you think

Giving you the insights you need

Cannabis store business plans and strategy ensure you start out right and stay competitive. Because provincial governments restrict how you market and advertise your non-medical cannabis store, retail strategic planning is vital to success and growth. It’s not enough to just open your doors, start selling and dream of profits! Retail success requires goals and actionable plans based on experience and data.

We’ve worked in BC’s erratic retail liquor market as business advisors and strategists since 2003. Our skills are perfectly aligned with retail cannabis businesses because the same government agency that regulates liquor retailers also regulates cannabis retailers. Our experience is much deeper than that of a typical cannabis consultant. Not only do we understand cannabis licensing, government requirements and compliance, we know how to create and implement cannabis store business plans and set your retail cannabis business up for success.
