Nativa Cannabis, a Seneca Nation-licensed recreational cannabis dispensary in Niagara Falls, temporarily closed after workers quit their jobs and walked out over the weekend.
It is scheduled to reopen on a limited basis Wednesday.
Staff started leaving early last week and, by the weekend, the store was down to just a handful of workers.
“Closed until further notice. Management and staff walked out,” a paper sign in the door read Saturday. “For further details on a reopening plan, contact the company’s general manager.”
But soon after, that manager had quit as well.
General Manager Brittany Moore talks about operations at Nativa Cannabis, the new recreational cannabis dispensary on the Seneca Nation’s territory next to the Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls.
Without enough people to staff the dispensary, it was closed Saturday, reopened Sunday, then closed again Monday and Tuesday.
“After making recent staffing adjustments, Nativa Cannabis is temporarily operating on a revised schedule. The dispensary will be open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday this week. We thank our dedicated staff and customers for their cooperation as we continue to actively recruit and hire additional staff,” Nativa Cannabis said in a statement.
