Meet the first owner of a cannabis storefront in San Luis ObispoPosted by On

A bright white building with red pinstripe window shades sits at the corner of High Street and South Higuera Street. At first glance, a visitor might mistake it for a candy shop — until they see the security guard checking IDs at the entrance. Inside, customers are greeted with pink and mint green walls, colorful displays of an array of products and a big neon sign behind the plexiglass-covered cash registers. 

Welcome to the first cannabis market and dispensary storefront in the city of San Luis Obispo. 

Megan’s Organic Market opened on Aug. 15. Megan Souza and co-founder Eric Powers have owned a CBD storefront in Morro Bay since 2013, but the pair wasn’t permitted to open a location in the city of San Luis Obispo until early this year. 

Before Megan’s Organic Market, Souza was a philosophy graduate pursuing a master’s degree in English from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Realizing she no longer wanted to become an English professor, Souza dropped out of the master’s program and decided to focus on the retail side of the cannabis and hemp industries. Souza and Powers began cultivating the hemp flower in 2010, and slowly made their way through various stages of selling their products. 

Ten years after the start of cultivation, Souza sits in front of a large mural that reads, “Welcome to Megan’s Organic Market.”
