Retail stores across the United States have seen an influx of traffic as Americans seek to stock up on basic supplies. Cannabis retailers have seen a similar trend, with many consumers choosing to make fewer trips to dispensaries, instead opting for larger, less frequent purchases as COVID-19 fears grip the country.
Cannabis businesses have responded to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks with precautions of their own. This includes increasing sanitation standards for employees, giving priority to medical marijuana patients when needed, and postponing grand openings of new stores. Many companies are encouraging buyers to opt for online ordering, drive-by purchases, and home delivery options where possible.
