The Growth of Portland’s Premier Cannabis Delivery Service
PotMates, now proudly known as Portland’s #1 Cannabis Delivery Service, has a rich history rooted in the heart of Oregon’s cannabis culture. Founded in 2015 by two Portland State University graduates, Jake Green and Lily Budwell, PotMates started as a small operation with a big dream.
Humble Beginnings
The founders recognized a gap in the market: a need for safe, reliable, and discreet cannabis delivery. With Oregon’s legalization of recreational marijuana in 2014, the timing was perfect. Armed with a single delivery vehicle and a passion for cannabis, Jake and Lily embarked on their entrepreneurial journey.
Overcoming Challenges
The early days weren’t without obstacles:
- Navigating complex regulations
- Building trust within the community
- Competing with established dispensaries
- Educating customers about delivery services
Despite these hurdles, PotMates persevered, focusing on exceptional customer service and a diverse product range.
Blossoming Success
By 2018, PotMates had expanded its fleet to ten vehicles and partnered with top-tier local growers. The company’s commitment to quality and convenience quickly earned them a loyal customer base.
Innovations and Community Impact
PotMates didn’t just stop at delivery. They introduced several innovations:
- A user-friendly mobile app for easy ordering
- Educational workshops on responsible cannabis use
- Partnerships with local charities for community giveback programs
Present Day: Portland’s #1 Choice
Today, PotMates stands tall as Portland’s premier cannabis delivery service. With a team of over 50 employees and a fleet of 25 vehicles, they serve thousands of customers weekly. Their success is a testament to their unwavering dedication to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
As PotMates continues to grow, they remain true to their roots, proudly serving the Portland community and advocating for responsible cannabis use. From a small startup to Portland’s #1 Cannabis Delivery Service, PotMates’ journey is truly one of homegrown success.
