The stores will also be selling Namaste’s signature vaporizers and cannabis accessories. The two have been the major source of revenue to the company throughout the previous quarters.
Besides cannabis-infused drinks, the café will also be serving healthy food products carefully sampled by Chef Pete Evans under the counsel of Jonathan Dresner. The company will hire trained consultants at each of its franchise that will be instrumental in offering the online and physical cannabis-related training.
