About Shop Puff Dispensary

Our Story

Founded in 2009 by Jeff Emarcom, Shop Puff Dispensary was built on a simple belief: exceptional cannabis starts with exceptional relationships. From the beginning, Jeff focused on building strong connections with experienced cannabis growers and cultivators. Those relationships gave Shop Puff a deeper understanding of cannabis—from genetics and cultivation to flower quality, aromas, cannabinoids, and evolving consumer preferences. Today, that foundation continues to influence everything we do. Based in Los Angeles, California, Shop Puff Dispensary represents the evolving culture of California cannabis. We combine the experience and relationships developed over the years with a modern approach to product selection and customer service. Our goal is straightforward: make cannabis easier to explore, understand, and enjoy responsibly.

A Team With Experience

Shop Puff is supported by an estimated 28 experienced employees who contribute to different areas of the business. Our team understands that every customer has different preferences, whether they are searching for flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles, CBD products, hemp products, or accessories. Because cannabis can be complex, we believe knowledgeable service and clear product information are essential to a better shopping experience.

Investing in Future Talent

We also believe the future of cannabis depends on education and practical experience. As part of that commitment, Shop Puff typically welcomes approximately 10 interns each month for voluntary learning opportunities. Through exposure to the business, interns can develop professional experience while gaining a broader understanding of the modern cannabis industry.

Quality Through Relationships

Our relationships with experienced growers remain one of the most important parts of the Shop Puff story. We believe quality begins long before a product reaches a retail environment. Therefore, we pay attention to the people behind the products, the characteristics of the cannabis, available product information, and the standards surrounding regulated cannabis. For us, quality is more than a label. It is knowledge, consistency, relationships, and attention to detail.

Our Product Selection

Shop Puff Dispensary brings together a broad range of cannabis and lifestyle products, including:

Cannabis flower
Premium pre-rolls
Vapes and cartridges
Concentrates
Edibles
CBD and hemp products
Cannabis accessories

This variety allows customers to explore different formats and find products that match their individual preferences.

Our Approach to Customers

We believe cannabis shopping should feel personal rather than overwhelming. Instead of simply putting products on a shelf, we aim to create an environment where customers can explore their options, understand product information, and make informed decisions. Whether someone is experienced with cannabis or simply exploring different products, our philosophy remains the same: Listen. Educate. Guide. Respect the customer.

Looking Ahead

The cannabis industry continues to evolve, and Shop Puff Dispensary intends to evolve with it. New genetics, extraction methods, cannabinoid products, and consumer preferences will continue shaping the industry. Our goal is to remain connected to those changes while preserving the relationships and values that built the company. From Jeff Emarcom’s original vision in 2009 to the team and community we are building today, Shop Puff remains focused on one thing: creating a cannabis brand built on experience, relationships, quality, and trust.
