Our Affiliations

International Franchise Association

Membership in the IFA assures potential franchisees that Bud’s Place™ adheres to the highest standards in the franchise industry.  Bud’s Place™ is the first cannabis related concept to have been admitted into the International Franchise Association

In 2019 Bud's Place™ approached us at Crave about a partnership. Once I met the leadership at Bud's Place™ and saw their plan for Bud's Place™ future, I was convinced this partnership would be an excellent one. There will now be a Crave inside all Bud's Place™ Lounges. We’ve worked closely with Bud's Place™ team and in addition to a Crave menu, we will also have some other items available for the guests, which will be chosen regionally. We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of a brand and group that shows such a true passion and determination as this one. Looking forward to #beatthecraving and have some #HQF
