NEW DISPENSARY FRANCHISE THE OPEN DØR OFFERS TURNKEY RETAIL MODEL FOR CANNABIS STAKEHOLDERS
NEW DISPENSARY FRANCHISE THE OPEN DØR OFFERS TURNKEY RETAIL MODEL FOR CANNABIS STAKEHOLDERS
The Open Dør franchise removes the complexities from dispensary operations and is led by industry experts in franchising, cannabis, and real estate.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., (December 29, 2020) — The Open Dør, a cannabis retail franchise model specializing in operational compliance and an inviting consumer experience, officially launched today. The company will offer dispensary license holders an opportunity to be a part of a new, national retail brand established by experienced cannabis and franchise industry veterans.
In an industry poised for national expansion and increasing consumer buying power, The Open Dør provides a modern cannabis retail model with a turnkey approach. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, cannabis franchise opportunities with The Open Dør are available in states throughout the U.S. with legal medical and adult-use marijuana programs.
Co-founded by international franchisor Kathryn Blackwell and cannabis compliance expert Chelsea Mulligan, The Open Dør concept was designed to remove the complexities from cannabis and help license holders get to market faster and with more efficiency.
The Open Dør leadership team includes Strategic Real Estate Advisor Bryan McLaren, Chairman and CEO of Zoned Properties, Inc., which specializes in commercial real estate development in the Regulated Cannabis Industry. Together, the trio infuses over forty years of cannabis regulatory and mainstream business expertise into The Open Dør franchise.
“In an industry fragmented by disparate state regulations, our design plans, operational support, and community focus offers dispensary retailers a smooth and quick entrance to the market with a compliant and proven franchise framework,” stated Blackwell, who will serve as CEO at The Open Dør.
With over three decades in the Quick Service Restaurant sector, Blackwell transitioned her corporate background in building iconic franchise brands like Cold Stone Creamery to the cannabis market, applying proven quality service and marketing initiatives to The Open Dør.
Mulligan, who has been involved in the launch of over 30 dispensaries throughout her cannabis consulting career, brings an astute knowledge of the inner workings of the cannabis business environment specializing in operational compliance, cannabis licensing, and quality management at the executive level.
“The Open Dør provides best-of-industry processes and standards for the ultimate dispensary retail experience. License holders who can bypass operational learning curves with a turnkey model have the ability to outpace competitors and position themselves for cannabis industry growth,” said Mulligan, COO at The Open Dør.
McLaren, a licensed REALTOR who sits on the Forbes Real Estate Council, delivers an added layer of support as a cannabis zoning and permitting expert with a focus on identifying compliant site locations, design, and development.
“Something that we continuously see lacking for new and even tenured dispensary owners is the high level real estate expertise integrated into the overall strategy. Through my experience with a focus on the social, economic, and environmental factors related to real estate development in the cannabis industry, having this key component as an offering through The Open Dør relieves an important initial pain point for business operators,” said McLaren.
With the combined experience, The Open Dør team has created an in-depth support system for franchisees through zoning, real estate, compliance, corporate social responsibility, operations, marketing, and overall cannabis consulting.
Social equity and community forward initiatives will be assimilated into The Open Dør franchise resources with a focus on increasing prosperity and promoting the health and wellness of citizens.

ImEPIK Releases First Course for Safe Cannabis Edibles
OXFORD, FLORIDA, OCT. 13, 2020 — As the demand for cannabis edibles continues to grow and manufacturers ramp up production, most producers continue to put the quality and safety of their products above all.
To support these responsible edibles producers, ImEPIK has launched the Part I of its two-part Cannabis Edibles Safety Course© series.
“ImEPIK has a reputation for providing engaging food safety training that gives production employees the technical knowledge they need to make safe products,” said Jill Droge, ImEPIK’s Chief Creative and Business Development Officer. “It’s more difficult than ever to make time for training, yet it is one of the most impactful things that manufacturers can do to ensure that their products are safe and will be well received by the market.”
Part I: GMPs and the Pyramid of Edible Safety is for employees who are new to the production of cannabis-infused edibles or who need a refresher on the basics. It will be followed by Part II, which is for managers and supervisors, in early November.
Part I is three modules and lays out why a food safety system is the most suitable framework for cannabis-infused edibles, as well as covering food safety specific to cannabis edibles
production. The importance of prerequisite programs, GMPs and the principles of hazard analysis are also included, as is an introduction to ImEPIK’s Pyramid of Edible Safety©.
“It is ImEPIK’s mission to create quality food safety training and to present it in a format that is both more convenient and is designed to adapt to the needs of today’s learners,” said Kathryn Birmingham, Ph.D. ImEPIK’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are grateful to the industry panel that beta tested the course.

ANAB Votes to Grant PJRFSI Accreditation for Cannabis Certification
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 4, 2020 – WASHINGTON, DC
Perry Johnson Registrars Food Safety, Inc. (PJRFSI) has officially become the first certification body to be granted Accreditation for cannabis certification in the United States by ANAB. The independent cannabis certification standard developed by PJRFSI is a GMP- and GAP-based scheme intended to help cannabis growers, manufacturers, and retailers meet the range of state-by-state requirements.
This standard aims to provide needed outlines for cannabis cultivation, product manufacture, and retail practices nationwide. As each state determines the status of cannabis legality within their jurisdiction, certification requirements can be haphazard. With the release and accreditation of their standard, PJRFSI hopes to simplify and unite the United States cannabis industry for the benefit of everyone from grower to producer to end user.
PJRFSI President Terry Boboige and Accreditation Manager Lauren Maloney have expressed great excitement for what accreditation means for not only PJRFSI, but for the cannabis industry at large:
“The team at Perry Johnson Registrars Food Safety Inc. is incredibly excited to be the first company in the United States to achieve formal accreditation for our Cannabis and Hemp Certification Program. We believe this nationally-recognized program will help the budding cannabis and hemp industries to strengthen, legitimize, and separate themselves from companies that do not have formal certification. Certification to this standard will forever help enhance companies’ image, credibility, and reliability. Accredited certification exemplifies to the public that certified organizations who supply cannabis and hemp products and services have internal safety systems that can inspire confidence.”
Signed Terry Boboige, PJRFSI President & Lauren Maloney, Programs & Accreditation Manager
For more information on the PJRFSI Cannabis Safety Certification Standard and to download a free PDF copy of the standard, visit www.PJRFSI.com, or call (248) 358-3388 to speak with the Cannabis and Hemp Division Manager, Brett McMillen.

InSpire Transpiration Solutions to Host Cultivation Webinar Series
InSpire Transpiration Solutions to Host Cultivation Webinar Series
Leading HVAC solutions company will discuss how cultivators can uncover profitability
through an understanding of cannabis plant culture
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – April 29, 2020 – InSpire Transpiration Solutions, an HVAC products and services provider focused on controlled environment horticulture to optimize product quality, is excited to announce a new webinar series exploring important topics for cannabis cultivators. The series will focus on the concept of cultural control, the practice of modifying an indoor growing environment to maximize photosynthetic outputs and reduce the prevalence of unwanted pests and pathogens. Cultural control is an important part of a cultivation operation’s environmental control strategy, and is directly related to managing factors like grow room temperature, relative humidity, CO2 levels and regulating pests.
The webinars will feature discussions on how cultivators can optimize product quality and increase profitability through a deep understanding of cannabis climate control plant culture. “The 10 Cardinal Parameters of Plant Health and Vitality” is the first event in the series, and will take place on Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
“Successful cannabis cultivation depends on many variables, including an intimate understanding of your plants that goes beyond basic needs for growth,” said Adrian Giovenco, CEO of InSpire Transpiration Solutions. “A consistent cultural and environmental control strategy can help cultivators maximize plant genetics, optimize product quality and yield, and influence overall plant health and vitality.”
The webinar series will be hosted by industry experts Jesse Porter and Robbie Batts of InSpire Transpiration Solutions. Porter brings more than a decade of experience to his role as Cannabis Business Specialist where he helps cultivators mitigate risk and maximize profits. Batts is InSpire’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer with expertise in designing, selling and commissioning HVAC systems for grow rooms. Porter and Batts will bring their breadth of knowledge in cultivation science and technology to guide the conversation and answer questions in real time.
“The 10 Cardinal Parameters of Plant Health and Vitality” will explore the 10 most important factors that influence plant growth and plant health, and the impact these factors have on plant transpiration and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Understanding these cardinal parameters allows cultivators to manipulate VPD to optimize plant genetics, biomass, phenotype expression and other elements that influence product quality.
