Loveland’s First Dispensary Finally Approved | Denver News

Loveland’s first recreational marijuana dispensary is finally here—Natural Alternatives, set to open August 2nd, after beating out a rival whose site was too close, triggering the city’s one-mile spacing rule. Led by Matthew Bishop, owner of a decade-old Fort Collins dispensary known for stellar service and regulatory compliance, the new shop will be personally overseen by Bishop with seasoned managers. Training for 14 new hires includes a two-week program focused on ID checks and strict compliance, plus security like silent alarms and surveillance. Eight other applicants are still in the pipeline, waiting for city planning approval before they can even reach the licensing stage.
