Planet 13 Cannabis Superstore is one of the largest dispensaries in the world, and it's open every day, every time. That's good news for adults (21 years+) living along the Nevada strip since marijuana is legal in the state.
Step Into Planet 13
The superstore is a large complex of 112,000 sq. ft., housing several other establishments apart from its primary cannabis storefront. Planet 13 would leave you in awe from its exterior to the interior.
Every Treat Available
There's a 15 ft. tall LED décor on the rooftop attracting customers to its cannabis wonderland. Once you get inside, the possibilities are endless as visitors get access to every treat possible, from chocolates to sweets and drinks.
An Interactive Interface
The weed store has an interactive interface that allows consumers to get their exact preferences. It has pre-rolled cannabis in packs, flavor-infused, and hybrids. Before you get to the promised land, you'd pass a Dispensary Check-In that confirms you're eligible for purchase.
Meet The Founder
The CEO, Larry Scheffler, tried his first joint when a friend visited him and fell in love. He opened his cannabis store in May 2016, and the recreational part opened on July 1st of the following year.
Creating The Name
Scheffler said they made $18 million within ten months of opening. He chose the name Planet 13 while smoking with his friend as the letter "M" is the 13th in the alphabet.
What's Inside?
Planet 13 has 85 items and 50 vendors including an approved coffee shop and a memorabilia store. The chocolates and gummies are infused with cannabis for people with sweet teeth.
Reward System For Shoppers
Scheffler said he and his co-owners create attractions that people like seeing and created a reward system for Vegas-style games.
Cameras Are Everywhere For Security
They have multiple security cameras to cover the large expanse of land. They encourage their customers to post pictures and tag the store.
Growing Their Customer Base
Scheffler said they receive about 115,000 guests monthly but it's not 3 percent of the trough flooding Nevada in that period.
Becoming The Largest Supplier Across America
They planned to reel in more customers through other side attractions and succeeded in the last five years. Now, Planet 13 offers Cannabis-themed weddings as an expression of art as told to UNILAD by co-founder Bob Groesbeck.
Scientists Handpick The Strains
The scientists growing the plant in the facility hand-pick each strain to produce world-class weed.
New Store In California
A second Planet 13 store opened in Orange County, California, following the success of the Nevada superstore.
