The Best Times to Visit Your Local Cannabis Shop in BC’s Interior

Understanding Cannabis Seasonality in British Columbia

Like many retail businesses, cannabis shops experience distinct seasonal patterns throughout the year. At Blended Buds Cannabis, we’ve observed some interesting trends across our British Columbia locations that might help you plan your visits more effectively.

Peak Seasons

Summer months typically see the highest foot traffic in our dispensaries, particularly in tourist-friendly locations like Vernon and Kelowna. This makes perfect sense, as the Okanagan Valley draws countless visitors during the warmer months.

Seasonal Considerations

Here’s when you might want to plan your visits:

  • Winter (December-February): Quieter shopping experience, perfect for lengthy consultations
  • Spring (March-May): New product launches often arrive
  • Summer (June-August): Extended evening hours, busiest season
  • Fall (September-November): Harvest season brings fresh local products

Local Market Variations

Each location has its unique patterns:
– Armstrong: Steadier year-round traffic due to local customer base
– Vernon: Tourism peaks in summer months
– Lavington: Quieter atmosphere with consistent local patronage
– Kelowna: High seasonal fluctuation with tourism
– Kamloops: Balanced mix of local and visitor traffic

Planning Your Visit

For the best shopping experience, consider visiting during off-peak hours, typically mid-morning or late afternoon on weekdays. This allows for more personalized attention from our knowledgeable staff and shorter wait times.

Remember that inventory levels can fluctuate with seasons, so calling ahead to check product availability is always recommended, especially if you’re traveling from communities like Lavington or Armstrong to visit our stores.
