Your Roadmap From Idea to Open

---

Opening a dispensary in Minnesota is a huge opportunity — and one of the most complex businesses you can start. Licensing, compliance, build-out, banking, payments, POS, staffing: miss a step or pick the wrong vendor, and it costs you months and thousands. 

The Playbook breaks the entire journey into 18 clear phases. Each has its own page with the what, the why, the how, real checklists, the vendors we trust (and honestly why), and links to deeper guides. Written by Erich Welsch and the Salespoint Solutions team — who've deployed payment and POS technology for hundreds of locations nationwide. 

We'd rather earn your trust than gate our knowledge. When you reach the parts we specialize in — payments, POS, and dispensary technology — we hope you'll want us in your corner. A few deeper resources will be premium add-ons; the core Playbook is free.
