A Supportive Franchise Model
The success of a franchise is solely hinged on the ability of the parent firm to support and assist its franchisees. Franny’sFarmacy has mastered this prerequisite trait.

The Covid-19 Effect
Franny’sFarmacy has levitated from one feat of success to another. Fuelling self-growth since 2018, the initial dispensary helped fund its second and third consecutive units. Later, as the brand grew into 5 states, it went on to expand further with Franny’s Distribution, Franny’s Manufacturing, and multiple Franchises. However, the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for slowing down this momentum. Dispensaries across states had to be closed for a month because of the Covid-19 outbreak. During this period, the team focused on growth and development in online e-commerce sales, extending a creative concept for their franchisees to continue to profit and remain in business through online and curbside sales.
A Promising Future!
At the present moment, there exists a multitude of opportunities in the CBD franchise arena as the industry moves towards legalization both in the US as well as in countries around the world. In the present context, Franny’sFarmacy is moving towards the consolidation of its position in the existing markets, while simultaneously investing in sales growth through expansion of product lines and dispensaries. The opportunities for the brand are as well endless as the boundaries of the horizon.
