Website: Creekside Greens – INDEPENDENT RETAIL CANNABIS STORE

The landscape of cannabis has seen a significant transformation in recent years, marked notably by Canada's legalization of recreational marijuana on October 17, 2018. This landmark decision not only increased access for recreational cannabis enthusiasts but also broadened the accessibility and acceptance of cannabis for medicinal purposes.

Nestled along the scenic Kemptville Creek, "Creekside Greens" is more than just a store; it's a community hub where customers are treated like family. The friendly staff greet each client by name, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home.

"Safe consumption is crucial to us, and having a secure space is essential," said Patrick McCaffrey, manager of Creekside Greens. He highlighted the store's patio, which overlooks the creek, providing a tranquil setting for patrons. This quiet sanctuary offers a disturbance-free environment, away from children and minors, promoting proper and responsible consumption.

Creekside Greens boasts a diverse selection of products to suit various preferences and needs. Their offerings include pre-rolls & flower, edibles & beverages, accessories, concentrates, and vapes, ensuring that customers find exactly what they are looking for, from traditional cannabis products to the latest industry innovations.

McCaffrey emphasized the importance of adhering to the Cannabis Act regulations, which include strict guidelines and restrictions. "We are very mindful of the regulations under the Cannabis Act, including its requirements and restrictions. As proactive community members, we promote great service, accessible education, and healthy consumption instead of encouraging excessive use." To further ensure a secure environment, the store is equipped with cameras both inside and on the patio.

McCaffrey shared a touching story of a customer who struggled with insomnia. After traditional medications failed, she turned to medicinal marijuana. With the help of Creekside Greens' knowledgeable staff, she found a tailored solution. He said, “The result was life-changing: she experienced two full nights of restful sleep for the first time in years.”

Creekside Greens has earned an impressive 5-star rating on Google, with 56 reviews reflecting the exceptional service and positive experiences of its patrons.

Looking to the future, Creekside Greens plans to continue nurturing its vibrant community with a variety of unique events and gatherings. Upcoming events include open mic nights, community BBQs, free movie nights, and informative sessions with brand representatives. These activities aim to entertain and educate, fostering an engaging and inclusive atmosphere for all attendees.

Since its inception just a year ago, Creekside Greens has become a beloved place in Kemptville, distinguishing itself from other businesses. "While our journey is ongoing, we are incredibly proud of our progress and the community we have built," McCaffrey remarked.
