Hit It Big

They say you don’t win if you don’t try. So, back in 2014, owner Scott O’Neil, who managed a local dispensary for his buddy in Spokane, decided to take a chance at having a place of his own. He was awarded the very last license in the lottery. Like most beginners in the ownership game, the idea was to start out super small and build. With hard work, passion and an undying entrepreneurial spirit, he made it all happen. Now, as a result of his efforts and a never-say-die endeavor, he’s expanded to Pullman where he operates this cute little shop. 

His mother, Sandy, is the backbone of the business, handling HR, payroll and all the fun stuff. It’s great to keep it in the family! 

Panning Out

Like the precious plant itself, the beauty had to be cultivated. So, when Store Manager Tayha Trimble entered the fold, she took the reins to give this room some identity and make it sing. That meant painting the interior, adding cases to the showroom floor, hanging shelves, incorporating decor, a TV menu, and so much more. With her vision, the place now has a greenery boho vibe with plants, trees and great music playing. They even offer 30-minute guaranteed online order pickups. All the hard work has paid off, with the store winning Best Cannabis Store in the Inlander Reader’s Poll 2023. Check out the reviews on the energy and aesthetic because the people know best!
