orn and raised in Oregon, Tony Birch opened Broadway Cannabis in 2019 — and he hoped to stand out from the competition by offering a boutique-style shop and keeping his prices below the local competition. The model was a success. Customers could easily shop in a space with a laid-back atmosphere, and the extra savings certainly didn’t hurt. Broadway Beaverton has the sort of layout Ikea would be proud of, where cases run along each wall leading back toward the register. This customer-forward layout allows the shopper to get a good look at the products before a budtender approaches to either answer your questions or start filling your order. Each product is clearly marked with the price, so you know exactly what to expect when you FOUNDER TONY BIRCH get to the register. In place of the daily deal, Broadway offers a relative 10% discount across the board every day. In Tony’s words: “A customer shouldn’t have to wait until Saturday to come and buy their dabs, they can just swing by on a Tuesday after work.” This clearly translates to customers, as they were flowing through the shop – showing their appreciation by picking up a variety of products. Broadway has you covered regardless of if you’re stopping in for an emergency backup Puffco, or just grabbing a few 50mg peanut butter cookies. Their extensive offerings are impressive and the crew here does an excellent job of neatly laying out all of the products without making anything feel crowded. Altogether the design of the shop, wide selection, and non-pushy budtenders provide an excellent customer-driven experience. Even on a busy Friday, the shop had plenty of space, and though a line would occasionally build up at the registers, no one was waiting more than a minute or two. For locals or anyone else driving by, Broadway has created the sort of place you can stop in for a quick grab-and-go, or swing by on the regular to chat up the budtenders about new products on the shelf. Basically, Broadway has a little something for everybody.
