Gary Santo on the "Patient" Approach to Growing a US Cannabis Leader

CSE's Anil Mall was recently joined by Gary Santo, Vice President of Investor Relations, for Columbia Care Inc. (CSE:CCHW), to discuss recent developments at the leading multi-state operator (MSO) as they embark on their next phase in the public markets as a listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

In this conversation, Gary shares the founders’ pragmatic reasons for establishing the company in Washington, DC back in 2012 (6:14), why one of the major foundations for the company is rooted in the capture of transactional data (7:59), and how Columbia Care - now in 18 jurisdictions - strategically selects its geographic markets for growth (10:33).

Listen until the end to hear how Columbia Care qualifies targets for M&A (and how much they are willing to pay!), their quick adjustments to assure customer service and fulfillment while operating in the COVID-19 environment, and how they assess the importance of Federal legalization vis-à-vis banking reform in the US.
