CANNABIS IS ESSENTIAL

SPARC was founded on the belief that everyone in our community deserves safe access to cannabis for their health and well being. That vision still holds true, and it’s more important now than ever. Cannabis is an essential business and we remain open in order to serve our customers. Due to the statewide shelter-in-place order and in our continuing effort to protect you, our staff, and our community, we have made several changes to SPARC’s standard operations. Please see below for details, and thanks for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.

ORDERING POLICIES

To maximize safety, we encourage you to place orders online in advance.  For pickup orders, we will text you when your order is ready; please do not come to the store if you have not received a confirmation text. Call the store directly if you have any questions. To help minimize lines, we’ve enabled ordering outside of store hours: you can now submit online orders before stores open, and we will have your order ready as soon as we open.

UPDATED STORE HOURS

We’ve reduced most of our store hours during the statewide shelter-in-place order. All orders must be placed online. You can pre-order every day starting at 4am. San Francisco locations: Sonoma County locations:
  • Santa Rosa — store hours remain the same: 9am-9pm (pickup & delivery)
  • Sebastopol — 10am-6pm (pickup only)

UPDATED DELIVERY POLICIES

Senior discounts now apply for delivery orders! Under normal circumstances, senior discounts are only applicable to pickup or in-store orders. However, due to the unique nature of the pandemic, we will honor the senior discount for delivery orders as long as the California shelter-in-place order is in effect. If you qualify for our senior discount, it will automatically be applied to your order. Sonoma county deliveries: All orders North of Windsor and South of Rohnert Park will have a driver sent to the area between 4pm – 6pm each day and orders west of Sebastopol and in Calistoga will have a driver sent to the area between 3:30pm and 5:30pm each day. Any order that comes in before the scheduled time will be sent the same day. Any order placed after the scheduled time will be held until the next day and sent out at the scheduled time.

ADDITIONAL EFFORTS

When we noticed a shortage of hand sanitizer we started to make our own. To ensure our staff are able to serve you safely, we went into the lab and produced enough to keep all SPARC locations stocked. We also made 10 gallons to donate to local hospitals in San Francisco and Sonoma County to support our community.
