Here's how Calgary cannabis retailers are adjusting to the pandemic
While Calgary remains in a local state of emergency, its cannabis retailers are adjusting to new sanitary procedures to keep their customers safe and supplied.
Some stores like Spiritleaf are reducing hours, removing smell jars and paper menus, and ramping up their cleaning routines.
“At the moment we are looking to have only half of the maximum capacity at each store, and while in-store,” the company said in a statement to Daily Hive, “we ask that shoppers keep a six-foot distance from each other, and not to come in if they are feeling unwell.”
They have also advised customers to take advantage of the Leafly Pickup online ordering system to reduce the amount of contact with staff and customers.
