HOW DID VAPE & SMOKE SHOP FRANCHISE?

Vape & Smoke Shop was founded in January of 2013 when we opened our first retail store, Brickell Smoke Shop, in Down Town Miami, Florida. The company found immediate success and quickly grew to six locations throughout South Florida. Our goal is to provide a one-stop shop for premium products in an atmosphere unlike any other.

We strive to be an all-out Smoke Shop with focus on quality products and excellent customer service. We carry over 5,000 products including the largest selection of hand-blown glass, cigars, premium e-liquids, vaporizers, hookahs, shisha tobacco, smoking and vape related accessories.

Our inventory also includes a huge variety of lighters, ashtrays, cases, grinders, scales, detox products, incense, hats, t-shirts, and more. The list goes on and on. If there’s something the customer needs that we don’t carry, we will be happy to order the item and have it available for the customer’s next visit.

OUR TARGET MARKET

There is no denying the statistics that the demand for Smoke Shops is significant. One Stop Smoke Shops are beginning to proliferate around the country. The Head Shop industry is growing into a $15 billion industry this year, with an average growth rate of 8.1 percent, according to IbisWorld research. There is a broad following in this industry that ranges from the age demographic of 18-50 years old. Young and old this industry aims at the masses.
