The store is located at 2412 Third Ave., Bronx, NY 10454. Jorge Jimenez is the managing partner at ConBud Bronx and he says that they aren’t allowed to advertise in windows or on signs, causing them to miss out on attracting new customers. Jimenez says ConBud puts an emphasis on cannabis education, which means their presence needs to be felt in the community and that’s difficult when they can’t advertise openly. He believes this also ties into ConBud’s ability to give back to the community in return through engagement and events.
Jimenez also hopes to one day create cafes and lounges within dispensaries similar to how other states like California are experimenting with “cannabis consumption” venues.
In July, the Cannabis Control Board proposed some changes to in-store and online regulations. In the meantime, ConBud plans to open additional locations across the city.
