With the Grand Opening of Valley Pure, owners Wes Hardin and Tony Cauble could see the excitement and the energy that was buzzing all around. The line of people wrapped around the front of the building, and all the way down the alley of an industrial back parking lot.

United Property Interest. With Wes’s background already in the cannabis industry and Tony with his knowledge of delivers, United Property Interest came to Wes and Tony and asked them to start a dispensary system for them.

tell me that it took about 8 months for the Woodlake store to adopt the necessary ordinances that would allow for the sale of medical and recreational Marijuana sales. From that point it would take another 3 months for the Woodlake store to open up. Both Woodlake and Farmersville have been very forward-thinking Tony would go on to say. Farmersville took longer Tony said. About 12 months just to be approved. Once they were approved it would take another 3 months to get ready. Both Wes and Tony were thrilled to see how receptive the community was, and they very much appreciated all that came to the Grand Opening of Valley Pure. Wes stated that because they are good at what they do, they have developed a good following. I also asked them what they did to help out the community of Farmersville. Wes told me that it was important for them to give back to the community and when it comes to charities, they are there to help. I also asked about how much they would have to pay Farmersville in taxes, 5% of all their proceeds go to the city. Valley Pure is growing fast throughout the forward thinkers of Tulare County. I see a very promising future for Valley Pure.
