Much like a hotel owner and its management company: owners hold the asset and set direction, and we provide the expertise and infrastructure behind every store, from licensing and site selection through build-out, launch, and day-to-day operations.
Zips Management advises dispensary owners within the Zips ownership group. Owners hold the asset and set direction; we provide the expertise and infrastructure behind every store. We define the customer broadly: everyone our stores serve, depend on, and affect.
Distributions come from net income, not expensive debt or a bet on a future exit.
High throughput, broad assortments, and the service customers expect from mainstream retail.
Our advisors are owners, which removes the agency problems common across the industry.

Proprietary site scoring on traffic, access, competition, and zoning, validated against actual store results.

Positioning, competitive analysis, and growth planning.
