About this audiobook
Most dispensary owners spend years building something valuable — then lose a significant portion of that value in the final 90 days because they never learned how to sell.
The Dispensary Exit Playbook is the definitive guide to preparing, positioning, and selling a cannabis dispensary for maximum value. Written by Eric Dena — a cannabis industry veteran with over 15 years of experience and more than 300 dispensary transactions — this book breaks down how buyers actually evaluate businesses, what kills deals in due diligence, and why so many operators leave serious money on the table.
Packed with real deal stories and practical frameworks covering valuation, pre-sale preparation, LOI negotiation, deal structure, due diligence, and closing — this is not theory. It's a field guide from someone who has been on every side of the table.
Build it right. Structure it right. Exit right.
