Visited for the first time this weekend. Staff was super nice and had a great sense of humor despite my terribly dry wit. Never seen or heard of the Mountain Munchies gummies but they, to me, are far superior to any other edibles I've found in the state. Also, the prices are far better than any other shop I've been to as well. Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going to drop in and say hello .... and buy more stuff of course. 😊
