Dan Dowber is an entrepreneur with a passion for people and the finer things in life. He is the true definition of a savant, especially when it comes to craft cannabis. With a background in HR, retail, education, all the way to the oil patch, Dan has a wealth of real life experience.
A month after the first wave of commodified cannabis stores started popping up, Dan realized he was going to need to search high and low for a tailored, high-quality experience. The corporate discount dispensaries weren’t catering to clientele like Dan, and even though he knew great craft cannabis LPs were out there, none seemed to be carried in the vast majority of these dispensaries.
Frustrated with all the shake and irradiation he was purchasing, Dan’s son Wesley encouraged Dan to consider opening a new store together. If they were ever going to witness an education-forward, wholistic craft dispensary, maybe they would need to bring it to Grande Prairie themselves. In the power of that suggestion, a father and son operated dispensary came to town, armed with great selection, fair pricing, and educated staff.
Dan takes a wholistic approach to his store, ensuring his happy, learned budtenders cultivate an environment filled with education, community, and vintage vibes. When the staff is excited about the product, the customers will be too!
Off the Record Cannabis has become a safe haven for Grande Prairie’s cannabisseurs and welcomes a wide family of regulars every single day. Sales have tripled in the last three years, and the legal cannabis market only gets better and better every single day.
If you’re looking for Dan Dowber out in the wild, your best bet for tracking him down will be near a lake, smoking a nice cigar and some fine craft weed. There’s a good chance he’ll have an industry rep in tow.
