Jason talks with Michael Hunnewell, President and Owner of Eskar LLC, about what it really takes to survive as a small cannabis operator in a maturing market. Michael brings experience from grocery group purchasing and defense contracting and uses it to explain GPOs, vertical integration, price compression, brand spiral and private label from a dispensary owner’s point of view.
They also dig into license caps, hemp as an external threat and how a change in ownership rules could flip the chessboard for hundreds of stores in Massachusetts. If you own, manage or sell into a dispensary, this episode focuses on cost structure, buying power and how to protect your brand as the market consolidates.
