How does a single-location cannabis retailer build one of the most disciplined inventory operations in its state? In this episode of The Buyer's Blueprint, we talk with Jacob, General Manager of a Colorado dispensary, about the buying and inventory philosophy behind his store's growth.
We get into how he thinks about margin, why 7-day inventory turns beat 30 or 50-day turns, and how he approaches vendor relationships to keep product fresh without overbuying. This is a conversation about retail operations and inventory discipline, using one operator's real experience as the case study.
Along the way, we also talk about:
• Why keystone pricing can work against retailers instead of for them
• How scarcity and freshness drive repeat visits without relying on discount wars
• Why building direct relationships with vendors matters more than order volume
• How retail strategy is shifting toward focusing on customer experience, not just product
