Advise agents on remodels and relocations. Help identify and evaluate potential sites. Recommend store hours.
• Complete, prepare, and process claims for damaged products. Assess each store’s product mix and stock levels. Assists in setting store inventory goals and approves adjustments based on agent’s needs or requests. Advise on merchandising-ordering strategies.
• Consult with new store applicants on their business proposals to include remodel or relocation plans. Monitor new agents to ensure they fulfill their remodel or relocation plans and are in compliance with store operational requirements.
• Identify and screen temporary agent applicants to determine if an applicant meets qualifications; work with temporary agents to operate stores until permanent appointments are made.

• Assists agents with the closure of liquor stores or removing products from stores as needed to safeguard the state’s assets and protect the public. Take actions as necessary to gain compliance such as recommending, developing and/or monitoring improvement or compliance plans.

About Us

11 years from our humble beginnings as the founders of Fruitridge Health & Wellness in Sacramento, Connected now maintains a portfolio of proprietary top-shelf cannabis genetics cultivated in state-of-the-art grow facilities. We are proud to be the largest grower of premium flower in California.

With three retail doors in California, recent expansion into Arizona and national expansion plans in motion, we operate one of the fastest growing, vertically integrated cannabis companies in the country.

Our mission has remained the same since day one: To breed, grow and sell the best cannabis in the world. This commitment to deliver at the absolute pinnacle comes to life in the standards we hold our product, our people, and our partners to every day.

Proprietary genetics cultivated with cutting-edge technology and over 100 years of combined plant cultivation experience has earned our flower the highest wholesale price in any major legal market. Our continued curiosity can be traced back to an early obsession with R&D that poured resources into what is now one of the most advanced cannabis breeding programs in the world.

In 2017, we welcomed Alien Labs to the Connected family; a partnership built on the foundation of like-minded quality standards and the desire to raise those standards across the industry.
