CANNABIS DISPENSARIES

It has been an 18-year journey. We took the road less travelled and that has made all of the difference. We are family, we are legacy, and our roots run the deepest.

Raised by two successful entrepreneurs, Tom Doran Jr. took over the family’s flagship cannabis accessory brand in 2004; he was born in Edmonton but has also lived in Victoria and Toronto. A proven leader with 20+ years in corporate retail and 11+ years franchising, Tom brings invaluable insight with regards to consumer preferences, market demands, and evolving trends in the cannabis sector. Jupiter Cannabis Winnipeg will be the eleventh retail build-out that Tom has overseen.

Tom’s wife, America (also a co-founder of Jupiter Cannabis), grew up in Mexico and later moved to Amarillo, Texas, to study. After graduation, she worked along her parents assisting with their independent Newspaper and overseeing their yearly beauty pageants. America eventually moved to Vancouver Island to continue her studies at the University of Victoria. During this time, she helped manage the Clinique Brand at the Bay Center in downtown Victoria. Fashion, makeup, human resources, and retail are America’s jam.

Jupiter will continue to be a family run business as Tom and America have re-located to Winnipeg to oversee the brand’s flagship cannabis retail location (Unit C, 580 Academy Road).

We have been cannabis advocates since our inception. It was tough sledding back then and a lot has changed in the last 18 years. There were a handful of other brands and activists who shared our vision. A consolidated focus on one common goal eventually led to the legalization of Cannabis in Canada; it was a proud moment for all of us.
