    Rise became my go-to dispensary after Minnesota legalized cannabis. The staff have always been…read morefriendly and the store itself is well run, so this review is not about the employees or the day-to-day experience inside the shop. However, I recently learned more about the leadership of the parent company, Green Thumb Industries (GTI), and statements made publicly by CEO Ben Kovler that raised serious concerns for me. As someone who believes the cannabis industry should support the communities that were harmed by decades of prohibition and enforcement policies, those statements left me uncomfortable continuing to spend my money here. Because of that, I've decided to take my business elsewhere and support companies whose leadership more clearly aligns with those values. For anyone who wants to look into this themselves, I encourage you to research the leadership of Green Thumb Industries and read the publicly available comments and discussions about it before deciding where to shop. Again, the staff and store experience at Rise have been solid. My decision is based entirely on concerns about the company's leadership and values.

    I'm a medical patient and have visited RISE New Hope several times, with very mixed experiences…read more Unfortunately, my last two visits have been bad enough that I'm seriously reconsidering returning. Today I parked in the pickup area and was assisted by Joe. He was rude, uncivil, and unkind, at one point saying he'd "have a better day if I didn't have to take care of people like you." That is an unacceptable way to speak to a patient. I spoke with Tasha, the manager, who was kind, professional, and helpful, as was the gentleman at the front desk. I truly appreciated both of them, but my interaction with Joe overshadowed the visit. This followed a serious issue during my previous visit. I had my trained service dog with me when another dog lunged at him. The owner identified himself as an off-duty RISE employee and told me his dog was not a service dog. I was surprised to learn today that the dog is now being described as "registered" as a service dog. There is no official service-dog registry, and a registration does not make a pet a service animal. I depend on my highly trained service dog. An uncontrolled dog lunging at a working service dog is not a minor issue--it puts both my dog and me at risk. A dispensary serving medical patients should be a place where patients are treated with respect and legitimate service animals can work safely. After these last two experiences, I have serious concerns about returning to this location. I now understand why the yelp rating is 2.9 and falling.
