this is huge. yeah. i m going to make another one because they said i have more time. do you have permits for that? one permit. but i m happy with it. so i spent a couple hours on the phone last night with kim at the city explaining to me that for some reason we need to have a waiting room. a waiting room? in the new dispensary. does she know we will have a bank line. yeah. i asked what is the purpose. the purpose is so there is no line outside the door and i said trust me we don t want that either and only time in denver that we had lines outside the door was january 1 and 2 and 4/20. what about the waiting area we have? it doesn t count. it has to be 120 square feet of partitioned. i was watching euflora. there was no waiting room there. i don t think that we need to
what do you think? save the best for last. you think you can do this one when you got back or before so we can put in the permits. i might be able to do something on this. this is our best chance of being open october 1st. yeah. at least we have one good location. i know. i know. all we need is the license. so if we re awarded the license it will be a huge rush to get the demo done, the inventory in here, the staff trained and opened up by october 1st. game day. aurora presentations are on. medicine man is applying for the mexican restaurant location. starbuds lost out on the bank. but is applying for the dentist office and the strip mall. euflora is trying for three licenses, including the million-dollar bank in ward six. oh, shoot.
first store but we will be opening on wednesday. we should be the first. others talked about it but i think we will actually be the first and we re really excited about it. after weeks of anxiety and long hours, euflora s dream of being the first dispensary in aurora is about to come true. hello? how are you? good to see you. we really really really want to be the first to open in aurora. this is really something we wanted to do. are you bringing product in tonight? you see that room for of people? they re waiting. if you do go up there, he showed me how he can get in. so our lock smith is coming tomorrow morning. your product could be at risk. if i don t get the license and i have to call all of my vendors and have them drive back, they will kill me.
else is all of the banking challenges that continue to persist. you would have thought that after almost a year of being in business, recreational, all the money that s coming through these industries but no banking. sit a consistent challenge. it just doesn t make a lot of sense. so i m going go back up to aurora and a meeting today is with everybody. the push is we want to get open. let s get it done. there were 21 licenses granted to aurora dispensaries and as much as they tried, none of them opened on october first. euflora is not opened. jamie can t wait. she has asked her vendors to come and wait outside while the inspectors walk through.
i m not good with opening them, obviously. how many did you want? this is a huge investment. i need at least seven figures to get started but it s i took everything i had, 401s, iras, every last bit of savings and dropped into the this believing it would be a huge return on my investment down the road. so right now unfortunately we are buying wholesale and profit margins aren t as great. not only that but the quality control. we re not able to control what we grow, what strains we have, how it s trimmed. that s something i m really looking forward to make sure we have total control so our customers are getting the best possible product out there. some really good looking bud here, man. people like our layout. they like our design and like our concept. we want this to be an amazing experience for people. we want them to say you have to go to euflora. not only is it just different but it s just an experience. they have everything set up
