Since it was licensed in 2010 in Boulder, Colo., Terrapin Care Station has offered customers what its owner and chief operating officer Chris Woods describes as “high-quality [and] unique products in a professional, unassuming environment.” But its low prices, extended hours and several locations-one conveniently close to Denver International Airport-might be what keeps Terrapin Care Station’s customers coming back over and over again.

Terrapin Care Station’s five dispensaries-located in Boulder, Denver and Aurora, Colo.-carry the company’s own products, which are grown in its cultivation facilities, as well as flowers, concentrates, edibles and topicals from select partner producers.

Its recent expansion into Oregon, Woods says, is bringing Terrapin Care Station’s national expansion plans to fruition. Terrapin will also be expanding its brand to the Eastern U.S. with new facilities in Pennsylvania.

Woods-along with Shawn Coleman, Terrapin Care Station’s government affairs director; Ian Peak, the company’s head of cultivation; Peter Marcus, its communications director; and Ian Goolsby, its creative director-recently sat down with Cannabis Business Times’ contributing writer Jillian Kramer to share the company’s business success story, details about its expansion into Oregon and Pennsylvania, and more.
