They did the walkthrough and the office was fully staffed. Graphic designers, compliance officers, the whole team. The day they moved in, everyone was gone. What was left was the owner's little brother and his friend from high school.
Super Chill had just landed a statewide Stizzy launch across 50 stores plus delivery, with Catalyst and others already placing orders. All they needed was a kitchen and SOPs. Instead they found out none of the compliance had been filed. Three months of production got logged in a single weekend, the BCC flagged it, and an audit came down.
Two days after they showed up asking questions, the facility got robbed. Only the facility's product was touched. Theirs was untouched.
Then Jen went into labor. She was prepped for a scheduled C-section, in the room, fielding texts about batch sizes, labels, and metric tags. Product took two to three months to hit shelves. They never got paid.
They also get into why kitchens are so hard to partner with in the legal market, the pay-to-play shelf system they refuse to participate in, and why after seven deals that didn't work, they now look at it as a superpower instead of a loss.
