Where I live, the dispensaries that have been around the longest have grandfathered in "perks".
For instance, if a decision to cut the amount of dispensaries down in an area is made; then the newer clubs will be the first to get shut down.
Suzie Q has been open almost 5 years which is a LONG time for Washington State.
Suzie Q had started the i502 process for recreational WAY in advance.
PMCM owns Suzie Q, but Suzie Q was working on the process prior to the acquisition.
Its been a while, but I KNOW I have looked at building permits and i think i502 permit paperwork in the "exhibits" of the 8k for suzie Q aq.
Thus I knew the renovation was on the way before they started... And I have the same hunch about the recreational
I also want to mention that Medical Patients in Washington State do not care about the recreational law the way investors do;
taxes will differ,
medical patients will have price breaks and access to specialty forms of medicine not recommended for recreational
Suzie Q I believe will be a recreational club, but not by cutting the quality of service to their PATIENTS.
New patients all the time; especially after the re-model!imo
