CBD enthusiasts tend to speak of the medical benefits of cannabidiol. Tyler Walker, the founder of Coffee Brewed Differently, has taken that notion a step further, intentionally opening his CBD coffee shop across from the Banner hospital on McDowell as a way of attracting health-minded customers. “We have quite a few hospital patients and nurses as well as people who’re visiting the hospital,” says manager Sarah Schlemlein. “One lady who comes by has chemo once a week. She says she’s never felt sick since she’s started coming here.” The location a former Jack in the Box opened for business in February. Schlemlein reports they re seeing approximately 150 customers per day. Not bad for two months.
