and difficulty in vetting every brand,
this approach best protects retailers.
"There's a vast difference in compliance and testing and certification that,
in many cases, has no connectivity
to price. It's not always that the most
expensive brands have the best quality,"
Martin added.
Operators should ask the CBD
product supplier for a certificate of
authenticity, or COA, that will verify
the oils they use are what they say they
are, Rosenberg said. He recommends
working with reputable companies
with a national presence or distributors that sell brands that have already
been vetted. PLNTSOP has been vetted
and certified by PFG/Vistar, which has
a quality assurance organization that
works with them to ensure compliance
on both products and their packaging.
Operators also need to make
good decisions on how to retail CBD
products to avoid theft or shrink. Most
retailers in the overall market have
started selling the product in locked
cases, Rosenberg said.
"It is a high risk of theft product,"
he said.
Some states have mandated age
restrictions, according to a 2019 report
published by legal firm Thompson
Coburn LLP. Operators should consider offering CBD products through
equipment that prevents underage
employees from partaking. Fastcorp
Vending provides a portfolio of versatile and customizable automated retail
machines that provide age verification
as an optional component, president
Brian Weinstein noted.
THE FUTURE AWAITS
With all the controversies and complications in mind, the specifics of how
retail of CBD will resolve is intriguing.
"I think it's really exciting to think
that our industry could help bring this
product to people where [consumers]
are every day," Hoskins said. "For the
operator, the incrementality associated
with that sale is potentially huge. People
who are buying CBD products aren't
necessarily going to their vending bank
or micro market on a daily basis, but to
the extent that they understood that the
product is available in that space, maybe
it could bring consumers back to the
table or to the table for the first time."
"The CBD marketplace is vastly
growing and becoming more and more
mainstream. This will only continue to
accelerate as regulations increase and
there is more clarity in the available
products and the ability to sell them,"
Weinstein said. "CBD is a huge opportunity to significantly increase revenue
with new products in the same venues
that operators currently reside." ■
