Why:
The interest in the Mint’s freshly prepared cannabis-infused foods continues to grow. This includes the soaring popularity of cannabis-branded parties, events, weddings, restaurants, and hotels. According to Allied Market Research, in 2018, the cannabis food and beverage market nationwide was valued at $427 million. By 2026, it will reach more than $2.6 billion.
“The idea for our cannabis kitchen began after seeing a significant unmet need from customers who were regularly visiting the dispensary,” said Eivan Shahara, CEO of Mint Cannabis. “Today, the Mint Café is redefining the infused foods category, while increasing fresh food choices and accessibility – it’s truly revolutionizing the customer experience. Our cannabis kitchen sales have grown 300% since 2018.”
