This page was just indexed by Google today. I know this because I utilize Google alerts to keep close tabs on this company due to a negative experience I also incurred.
I know the story that has been relayed here to be true, although I will not cite my sources. There are also many more stories just like this one.
Let's call a spade a spade. "Morgan Stanley" is Derek Peterson. His business partner is Dhar Mann.
Here is a well-stated response regarding the parent company of Growoptech, "WeGrow":
weGrow, coined the “Walmart of Weed” is opening this weekend in Sacramento leaving behind a failed store in Oakland that had its Grand Reopening just a few short months ago. weGrow Oakland and its founder Dhar Mann are embroiled in a slew of lawsuits, labor disputes and complaints of local corruption. Several suits have been filed by employees and vendors for uncollected paychecks and payments on goods and services received. They have suffered in Oakland due to poor sales and a lack of supply due to alienating themselves from the industry. Dhar himself has made promises to potential franchisees of significant operating revenue and profit all while his own store was suffering and now ultimately shut down. I would encourage anyone doing a story to do their research and search the Alameda County court records for pending suits, mechanic liens on his building, labor disputes and situations of unpaid vendors.
