“I own a construction company. We specialize in mold remediation and other projects from dry wall removal to replacement, flooring, windows, roofing, limited roofing, limited electrical,” Robinson said.

“Just dealing with customers, knowing how to deal with clients, know what people are looking for, what they expect. Providing great customer service, being able to get what people want inside of my store or the delivery service, whatever it may be, that’s what I’m going to be doing.”

While the state hasn’t announced when the dispensaries can open just yet, Robinson told us on Thursday afternoon he hopes to be up and running in early to mid-January.

“I’m just ready. I’m ready to represent, you know, ready to show everybody I can do it. This can be done. Somebody from a little town, a little city, Albany, can actually do something big,” Robinson said.
