How Copper Canyon Dispensary reached 3,800 app downloads in 60 days
A Flagstaff dispensary launched its own app and in-house delivery in two weeks, and the app paid for itself in the first month.
Illustrative figures based on typical customer outcomes.
The challenge
Delivery orders at Copper Canyon came in by phone or through a marketplace, and the team juggled driver schedules on a whiteboard. There was no app, so regulars had no easy way to reorder.
Erin had lived through slow software rollouts before and wasn’t eager to repeat the experience with a busy team.
Why they chose Budfront
Erin chose Budfront for the done-for-you launch. A dedicated launch manager handled setup end to end, and the delivery tools came built in alongside the app and menu.
“Our launch manager handled everything, and our staff were ready in one short training.”

What they launched
- A branded iOS and Android app with two-tap reorders
- Delivery zones, minimums and scheduled windows, routed to the store’s own drivers
- Push notifications for new drops and delivery updates
- Loyalty points that reward app orders
The results
The app reached 3,800 downloads in its first 60 days and covered its cost within a month. Delivery orders grew 35% as regulars moved from phone orders to the app.
“Launch took less time than our last menu update, and the app paid for itself in a month.”

What’s next
Copper Canyon has joined the waitlist for AI phone ordering to catch calls during the evening rush.
