By sourcing its goods and services locally, FAIRFAX ENTERPRISE, INC. is able to benefit other local businesses and foster a symbiotic relationship with other local businesses. 10 DocuSlgn Envelope ID: 349A81C7-C399-4E2D-98F6-9DAB84DC9A07 FAIRFAX ENTERPRISE, INC. is committed to providing superior quality and unparalleled customer service in all aspects of its business.

FAIRFAX ENTERPRISE, INC. further believes in investing in employees by providing training and resources to its employees. An employee handbook is presented to new hires and training for employees is conducted by the manager who spends the first couple days in the store going over policies and how to use all proper equipment and systems. Information covered includes the basics of cannabis and cannabis products, cannabis research, delivery methods, dosage, and precautions for new users and seniors. Employees are also instructed on specifications for cannabis and cannabis products by vendors and manufacturing representatives who often visit for training courses.
