Above and beyond that amazing distinction, owner Jerry Millen has always placed a premium on giving back to the community. As such, a visit to the dispensary means you’re bound to encounter an example of this. Especially over the next many weekends.

That’s because for the second year in a row, the Greenhouse and the Girl Scouts are teaming up.

The Greenhouse and the Girl Scouts – Classic Combo

If you went by the dispensary this past weekend and saw more green than usual, it was just the Girl Scouts selling cookies. And no, you weren’t imagining things. You may have even been expecting it.

Last year, when an entrepreneurial troop decided the Greenhouse would be the perfect place to peddle their delicious treats, Millen couldn’t have agreed more. So he made it happen.

When the troop sold over 1,000 boxes, it inspired other troops to ask Millen for permission to do the same. And a new tradition began.

“I have daughters of my own and I know the importance of this yearly event and how much the public looks forward to enjoying the one-of-a-kind Thin Mint, Peanut Butter, and many other cookies,” said Millen.

Carrying on the Tradition

If you didn’t make it in this past weekend, no worries. Numerous Oakland County Girl Scout troops are scheduled to sell their sweet treats each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all the way through April 24th! These opportunities are a true godsend for the Girl Scouts who also do so much to give back to the community with the funds they raise from their cookies sales.

And you can expect to find Millen there graciously assisting the troops in setting up their cookie stands. The Girl Scouts will be selling their legendary cookies from 4pm-7pm on Fridays, 1pm-5pm on Saturdays and 11am until dark (time will extend later each week) on Sundays.

“We need others like Greenhouse of Walled Lake to allow us to sell our cookies in this fun and supportive atmosphere,” said one local Girl Scout troop leader. And Girl Scout troops can still reserve their spot by visiting greenhousemi.com/girlscouts.

The Greenhouse is located at 103 East Walled Lake Drive in Walled Lake, Michigan. They are open everyday from 9am to 9pm.

We Raise a Glass (of Milk) for the Greenhouse

As cannabis marketing experts, we know it’s crucial that cannabis businesses give back.

The Greenhouse’s focus on community over the past three years has been beyond commendable. It’s what this industry is all about. And we applaud them.

The Greenhouse’s focus on community has always been a driving force for owner Jerry Millen. And he and his staff are dedicated to ensuring that customers and patients receive the utmost guidance when it comes to selecting the right products for them whether for a health condition, relaxation, or just plain fun.

To celebrate their two year anniversary last weekend, Millen brought on hockey great and former Detroit Red Wings star-turned-cannabis entrepreneur, Darren McCarty as a guest bud tender.

And it created some serious buzz.

Community Event Was a Huge Success

To uplift the community and bring some lightness to this otherwise heavy time, McCarty was on hand from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25 to sign autographs and promote his line of Darren McCarty “Pucker Up” pre-rolls.

Having credited cannabis with helping him overcome his struggles with alcoholism, McCarty entered the cannabis industry last year when he decided to partner with Michigan cannabis company Pincanna.

McCarty’s passion for cannabis and his celebrity status brought over 1000 people to the event – socially distanced, of course.

Millen couldn’t have been happier with the turnout and with getting to work with McCarty. “Honestly, one of the greatest guys in both the sports world and the cannabis industry!” said Millen. “He was so great and gracious to everybody who showed up to meet him.”

He also expressed gratitude for the patients and customers who have supported the Greenhouse over the past past two years. “We are grateful for you all!” he said.

Greenhouse’s Focus on Community Draws Girl Scouts

It may seem an unlikely duo, but if you wandered past the dispensary and saw Girl Scouts selling cookies out front this past weekend, you weren’t imagining things. An entrepreneurial troop decided it would be the perfect place to peddle their delicious treats.

“One of their mothers reached out to me last week and asked if they could do it and I said absolutely yes. This just shows you how far cannabis has come. Two years ago, the Girl Scouts would not let a Girl Scout troop stand outside of the store and sell their cookies,” said Millen.

When the young ladies and their mothers sold over 1,000 boxes, it inspired other troops to ask Millen for permission to do the same. Thus, this weekend, March 6th and 7th, Girl Scout cookie sales will resume.

“We need more spots like Greenhouse of Walled Lake who are allowing our girls to sell their cookies during this challenging and difficult time,” said one of the troop leaders.

Millen was only too happy to oblige.

“I have daughters of my own and I know how important this is to the girls and how much the public looks forward to enjoying the delectable mint, peanut butter, and other cookies.”

Let’s all raise a glass.. of milk.
