Every year, many dispensaries across the United States experience the same problem: a sudden and sharp decline in revenue between August and September. The numbers are consistent, with most stores reporting a 15–25% drop compared to the final weeks of summer. Yet despite how predictable this shift is, most dispensaries treat it like a surprise.

Some stores thrive during this period, particularly those located in college towns where students return in September and fuel higher traffic. For others, however, the change is painful. Families that spent freely in the summer months are suddenly tied to back-to-school schedules, commuting routines, and tighter budgets. The result is a slowdown in traffic, fewer transactions, and shrinking average basket sizes.
