VALLEJO MARIJUANA DISPENSARY ON MARIN STREET WILL ALSO SELL GROCERIES
The owner of one of Vallejo's dozen or more medical marijuana
dispensaries hopes to deflect growing criticism against his industry
by bringing groceries downtown.
He vows in particular to bring some products found at Trader Joe's
and Whole Foods, as well as other markets. If successful, his would
be among a very few downtown stores selling grocery items.
California Maritime Academy graduate, part-time actor and Vallejo
resident Matt Shotwell said he plans to separate part of his 3,800
square-foot dispensary space at 616 Marin St. and devote it to
groceries and coffee. He said he's not yet sure how much space will
be allotted for groceries, but he'll sell no meat or produce, only
snacks, drinks, condiments and other non-perishables.
