Harborside Inc. (“Harborside” or the “Company”) (CSE: HBOR), a California-focused, vertically integrated cannabis enterprise, today announced that it was named Best Curbside Pick-up for dispensaries by readers in East Bay Express’s Best of the East Bay 2021. In addition, Harborside also placed as a top 3 finalist for the Best Cannabis Delivery category in the Desert Sun’s “Best of the Desert” 2020 competition.
In March 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, cannabis businesses were deemed essential in local California counties and allowed to stay open. To continue serving patients and customers safely, Harborside enabled curbside pick-up through their e-commerce platform (shopharborside.com) at its Oakland, San Jose and San Leandro locations. The Company’s Desert Hot Springs location also offers drive-thru service – the first in Southern California – for even more convenience. Harborside also operates home delivery services in the Oakland, Greater East Bay, Peninsula and San Jose areas. Through the implementation of these strategic initiatives, Harborside has remained fully operational throughout the pandemic to meet the significant consumer demand.
“We’re thrilled to see that our initiatives have had such a positive impact on our local communities,” said Peter Bilodeau, Interim CEO of Harborside. “The team at Harborside has worked diligently to implement alternative solutions as quickly as possible throughout this crisis to ensure continued access to our high-quality products. This recognition highlights Harborside’s ongoing dedication to supplying our patients and customers with the medicine they need in the most convenient way possible, no matter the challenges we face.”
