While our first Arizona dispensary license was awarded in 2012, the story of Debbie’s Dispensary started long before that — all the way back to a grade school entrepreneur in Mohave Valley.
“I started selling caterpillars in grade school, then moved on to candy and soda in junior high, before they had vending machines,” recounts Curtis Devine, CEO and founder of Debbie’s Dispensary. “It’s in my blood to build businesses, to see an opportunity, take it, and run with it.”
Over the years, this entrepreneurial spirit motivated Curtis to pursue several successful business ventures, including furniture moving, landscaping, and construction. It wasn’t until dispensary licenses become available in Arizona that Curtis turned his business skills to the medical marijuana industry.
