PROVINCETOWN — Dozens of job-seekers wanted to see at Monday's job fair what the new Curaleaf marijuana retail shop was all about, and were looking for work in the winter.

“I like the idea of full-time year-round employment with stable hours, which is kind of a rarity around these parts,” Austin Fiszel of Provincetown said outside the shop entrance.

The shop, at 170 Commercial St., was very clean and well-lit when he went in for the interview, Fiszel said. The associates were friendly and upbeat. “They seem very focused on positive, forward movement to get things done and make it a hit,” he said.

The Wakefield marijuana company was granted final approval for an adult use marijuana retail license last month by the state Cannabis Control Commission. The company hopes to open its Provincetown store by the end of the month, which would make it the first adult use marijuana retail store on Cape Cod.

Within the last week, as other nearby stores and eating places remain shut for the winter, Curaleaf has shown many signs of opening, adhering to requirements in the town Planning Board special permit and site plan review from Aug. 23, 2018. Five new bicycle stands were installed with a "Curaleaf Bicycle Parking Only" sign, as were queuing signs on the ramp leading down to the front door. Low nighttime lighting has been installed on the ramp and at the entrance as well.

Jobseeker Morgan Phillips of North Truro, an activist in 2016 for marijuana legalization, recently moved back to the Cape and was on Monday looking for work.

“Working in an industry that I helped bring into the light, out of the black market, seems wonderful, seems like a great opportunity to help people,” Phillips said, as he headed to the store entrance.

The job fair was fairly informal, a Wellfleet man said who did not want to use his full name.

“Wintertime it’s hard to get a job full-time," he said as he stood at the curb. "I’m looking to get into an industry that’s getting off the ground, and try to learn something new."

As a job candidate, Anna May Meade of Provincetown, who has written a guide book to cannabis, said she has a health and safety background, and thinks that would be the most appropriate type of position for her. "But I'm willing to be a dispensary associate," Meade said. "It should be very exciting to have a dispensary here in town."

She knew she wanted to be in the cannabis industry since 2016, when it became legal in Massachusetts, Meade said.

"I'm all in," she said.

Job seekers are also asked to apply on the Curaleaf careers website, where there are currently two positions listed at the Provincetown location — a dispensary associate and an inventory associate. For the winter, the company will hire up to six dispensary associates and two to three inventory associates, according to Christine Hennessy, Curaleaf’s director of retail.

Additionally, the store will hire three team leads and an inventory manager.
