SCHENECTADY — Longtime Schenectadian Donald Andrews hopes to soon sell adult-use marijuana legally near his home.

The entrepreneur waited a decade to do so.

“I’m just – I’m on the edge of my seat,” Andrews said.

Andrews, 34, was one of four recipients from the Capital Region earlier this week to be granted cannabis retail licenses under the state’s adult conditional dispensary system, a program which allows industry players convicted of past marijuana-related offenses first on New York’s newly legal recreational pot. market.

The 2007 graduate of Schenectady High School was convicted of two marijuana-related offenses in the late 2000s.

“A lot of people have had their livelihoods ruined,” Andrews said. “And a lot of good people.”

Andrews launched a main store based in Scotland in 2013 (the trading name was later changed from Dabbcity to Vapedcity to avoid conflict with a Californian company of the same name) and later opened two CBD-focused outlets in Glenville and Schenectady.

For the cannabis enthusiast, his end goal was always to launch a dispensary at the right time. He has long traveled to marijuana conventions in pot-friendly states to study retail operations.

“What kept me here was knowing it was only a matter of time as other states came on board,” Andrews said.

The two-year-old legalized adult cannabis market is expected to expand by 2023 with more forward-looking regulations and unconditional licensing guidelines fleshed out by the state’s Office of Cannabis Management.

“I’ve been in the cannabis world, the cannabis industry for a while now and it was a big dream for me to own and operate a dispensary, especially in the town where I grew up” or anywhere in Schenectady County, Andrews said. .

Three of eight municipalities in Schenectady County have elected to opt out of adult-use potty sales in 2021, as permitted by state law. The county’s eponymous city plans to host retail spaces downtown for potential cannabis sales.

A Dormitory Authority of New York contractor has been scouting potential dispensary sites in downtown Schenectady, as well as parts of Saratoga County, two local business executives confirmed last week.

DASNY is responsible for securing locations built or subleased for CAURD grantees, publicly and privately funded through the $200 million Cannabis Social Investment Fund.

All regional licensee preferences will be accommodated, but more municipal and county specific site preferences are subject to availability and regulatory requirements. According to Empire State Development’s definition, the Capital Region consists of 11 counties.

“If they were to stick me somewhere else, that’s what it is,” Andrews said.

Andrews isn’t sure what’s next as he closes in on dispensary business. He is waiting for more information from the OCM.

Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy is also interested in the state regulators’ next move.

“I don’t have any insider information,” McCarthy said. “I’ll read your story tomorrow and get my daily briefing.”

At least one cannabis retail storefront is expected to open in the state by the end of the year. Approved retailers are also expected to make deliveries before 2023.

Ray Gillen, chairman of the Schenectady Metroplex Authority, hopes future retailers will eventually bolster local municipal coffers. Pot sales are taxed at 3% for municipalities, 1% for counties, and 9% for the state.

They have remained a customer favorite ever since.

According to QSR Magazine, the brand’s made-from-scratch cookies accounted for almost a third of all sales in 2020.

According to WYMT, approximately 800 cookies are produced each day by the brand’s bakers, which translates to more than 300 million cookies distributed nationwide each year (per restaurant press release). Therefore, some seasoned bakers can produce hundreds of thousands of cookies during their career.

FALLSTON, Md. (PRWEB)
November 11, 2022

William Wallace, who was born and raised in the Dundalk community of Baltimore County, Maryland, has completed his new book “Reflections in a Mirror”: a gripping and powerful novel that follows the search for a serial killer.

After capturing the serial killer in Tennessee, the rookie agents assist Agents Longfellow and Dickinson in their next case that takes them between Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, in search of a serial killer whose targets are bartenders, strippers or anyone else who gets in his way. .

Growing up in Dundalk, author William Wallace found the community surrounded by many mega manufacturers, such as General Motors, Lever Brothers, Westinghouse, Bendix, Martin Marietta and Bethlehem Steel. Almost every household had relatives who worked at one of the businesses in this large, working-class neighborhood. William graduated from the University of Baltimore with a major in English Literature. While at university, he had three short plays published in an annual university publication.

After graduation, William was hired by a national company as part of a management training program. After working for two companies after college, William was able to start his own business which grew successfully and eventually sold several years later.

After the sale of his business, William retired from the business world. He decides to return to his first passion for writing and publishes his first novel, “Toby”, followed by “The Pedophile Priests”, “The Blade Maker”, “The Palindrome Murders” and his last novel, “Reflections in a Mirror”. .”

William writes: “Director Wellington said, ‘We have three dead in Tullahoma, Tennessee, who were killed by a clown. He killed the owner of the convenience store, a cashier and a customer who was shopping there. There is a video of the whole shoot which may be helpful. I can’t say much about the clown’s identity other than his shoes. He wore Nike Air Zoom Tempo running shoes. They were white with the Nike swoosh in Columbia blue. Due to a recent surge in unsolved murders in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia, law enforcement officials in all three states have requested the FBI’s assistance in determining whether they may be dealing with a serial killer. We need you and Agent Dickinson to start by investigating this killer clown and see what you can find out about these murders and your opinion on whether he is a serial killer in general or not,” Director Wellington concluded.

Published by Page Publishing, the gripping story of William Wallace leaves readers constantly eager to know what happens next as each unpredictable chapter unfolds.

Readers interested in discovering this captivating work can purchase “Reflections in a Mirror” in bookstores around the world or online at Apple’s iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Fewer major retailers are opening on Thanksgiving for holiday shoppers this year. Experts say that’s because kicking off the holiday shopping season has become a five-day event that spans digital and physical stores.

That said, a number of major retailers will open their physical stores at dawn or before Black Friday, led by Best Buy, Cabela’s, JC Penney, Old Navy and Walmart at 5 a.m.

A LNP | LancasterOnline’s survey of retailers revealed that only Dollar General, Big Lots and Cabela’s planned to open on Thanksgiving Day. Lancaster County’s major malls: Park City, Tanger Outlets and The Shops at Rockvale are all closed.

“Each year, retailers make the best decision for their customers and employees in terms of whether or not to open on Thanksgiving,” said Katherine Cullen, senior director of industry and consumer insights at National Retail. Federation. “Over the past few years, retailers have shifted their approach to reflect the fact that Thanksgiving weekend has become a five-day shopping event that spans online, mobile and in-store. For some retailers, this has eased the pressure to be open on Thanksgiving Day, as consumers are just as comfortable browsing weekend deals from their mobile devices or desktop computers.

It’s good to check websites and stores ahead of Black Friday, as many sales start early. Walmart, for example, launches new sale items every Monday in November. The catch is that you have to be a member. Barnes & Noble begins its holiday sales on November 21.

This year, Thanksgiving is November 24 and Black Friday is November 25.
