Covid-19 was bad news for most businesses, but for East of Eden the pandemic was its “Amazon moment,” when cannabis shoppers realized they could shop from home online and have their favorite products delivered to their doorsteps within hours. “It definitely opened up people’s eyes to realize we have delivery service,” says Mark Sanchez, assistant general manager. Once customers tried East of Eden, they became loyal customers thanks to the high standard of service the company prides itself on. Not only will East of Eden deliver medicinal and recreational cannabis to homes, their drivers will come back if products aren’t working out and do an exchange on the doorstep. “We’re willing to do anything and everything for the customer,” Sanchez says. “That’s helped us a lot.”
