Sanctuary - Gardner (Adult Use)
3/11/2019
As other store's shortages have forced me to venture further from where I'd prefer to drive, Sanctuary was simply the next one by distance but they really exceeded everything I've come to expect from recreational stores.
Everyone here is friendly, the line is minimal, everything is more personalized with menus and staff that know everything about what they're selling, they have comfortable seating once you're in the door but are waiting for a staff member, and they accept debit cards. All of my previous experiences elsewhere have been cash only places with multiple lines and little selection, not here.
Another huge thing is that they hand you a menu before you're even inside so you have a realistic idea of what is available to you ahead of time. Other stores only show you that list at the counter and all of the things you potentially went in wanting are missing from it so you're left scrambling and taking forever at the counter (growing the line).
Gardener is a hike for me but I'll definitely go back to Sanctuary. They've changed pretty much everything that I expect from a dispensary for the better and that's worth an extra few miles.
