| **UPDATE BELOW ORIGINAL REVIEW**
I'm going to be as transparent as possible. I am not only a long-time customer of Shinybud Blenheim. I also work in the cannabis industry and for the other store in Blenheim. On July 31, 2025 I had a customer inform me that the girl at Shinybud said we wouldn't have the product she wanted and that we were going out of business. ( This employee in question, is Brianna/Bri and just so happens to be the girlfriend of current manager Greg ) I had heard this before from other customers, Brianna herself had asked me and co-worker when she came to our store on May 7, 2025.
I called the store on July 31st, I asked Greg to talk to Brianna & ask her to stop talking negatively and making rumors. I informed Greg if I had to tell my boss, a cease & desist letter would likely be sent, which probably wouldn't be too good for his girlfriend or him since he got her hired. ( Greg agreed & said consider the situation being dealt with!
I have gone in twice since then, the first time was the 2nd or 3rd of August, 2025.
Greg took care of my purchase and everything was good. Fast-forward to August 7th, 2025. Greg or Brianna weren't working, but when I went back to buy something I was informed I wasn't allowed back. I have contacted the VP of operations for Shinybud Inc, and I'm also trying to contact the Owner and GM. I have NEVER had an issue with any employee of Shinybud since they opened about 4 years ago, I've had nothing but positive interactions, .. |
