Co-owners, Amanda Wright and Aaron Gray of cannabis store, Pineapple Victoria are sharing their profits with employees.
Starting this December, the local cannabis store is moving away from a model where profits from the business primarily benefit shareholders. Instead, workers will receive 30 per cent of the store’s profits, and Gray and Wright’s families will each receive 35 per cent.
“We just really value our community and our team and we have decided to kind of change the dialogue around bud-tending specifically and have it be thought of as more of a career move rather than a stepping stone to another career,” says Wright.
