With the delivery wing of the industry struggling to make headway in Denver, the council on Monday night made the exclusivity permanent. Social equity applicants will be the only people eligible for delivery licenses going forward. The council also significantly reduced licensing fees for those businesses and marijuana stores that want to work with them.
The impetus for the changes, in part, was the rumblings within the industry that cannabis retailers were waiting out the exclusivity period. In the more than a year since the delivery business type became available, 14 social equity transporter businesses were approved to operate but just 18 of the city’s more than 208 stores signed up to work with them.
