Best Concentrates, Edibles, Flower, Medical Marijuana, Recreational Marijuana and Selection: Native Roots
19 S. Sunset St., Longmont, 720-340-4870
The cannabis industry is growing up,” says Buck Dutton, vice president of marketing for Native Roots Cannabis Co. “And the cannabis consumer is becoming more sophisticated, too. Native Roots tracks these evolving trends so our dispensaries and product selections grow along with consumer tastes and preferences, as well as industry innovations.”
Native Roots nearly swept the Best of Boulder East County cannabis categories this year, snagging wins in best bargains, concentrates, edibles, flower, medical marijuana, recreational marijuana and selection.
The story of Native Roots began in 2010 at a 17,000-square-foot cultivation and extraction facility that produced products for The Dandelion and Native Roots Apothecary medical dispensaries in Boulder. After Amendment 64 legalized recreational cannabis, these two retail operations joined forces to become Native Roots.
Native Roots now operates a 173,000-square-foot state-of-the-art grow facility and 20 dispensaries around Colorado.
“We have grown and flourished in our communities and deeply understand our customers’ needs,” Dutton says. “We customize our offerings for the community we operate in, and we believe this is just one of the reasons why our dispensaries have such a devoted clientele. We have evolved over time just as the cannabis consumer has evolved. We hear from our regulars all the time how much they appreciate that we anticipate their needs or always have something new to show them. And we hear from new customers how we helped them feel comfortable while addressing their cannabis questions. We are always looking for ways to improve our dispensary experience, whether through improved customer service or offering more high-quality products. Everyone yearns from time to time to be in a ‘better place,’ and we believe it is our mission to help them get to that better place.”
