I also worked the store as a regular employee meaning I ran the register, helped customers with products and finding the right things for them. I was also in charge of making pre rolls for our “House made Prerolls” and I was in charge of all THCa products. I researched extensively to bring in new exciting products and ideas to the store. I would go to other states and explored stores in the area to make our store better.
