CBD Kratom
Meet the Owners
Dafna and her husband, David, co-owner of CBD Kratom, an independently owned CBD one-stop shop in the Euclid South CID at 115 Euclid Avenue. When starting the business, the original goal was to bring quality CBD to the Midwest. After visiting many trade shows and noticing trends from their other business, Mr. Nice Guy, Dafna, and her husband saw an opportunity to open the first CBD Kratom in Chicago. More openings quickly followed this in Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, and Los Angeles. In March 2017, the first CBD Kratom opened in St. Louis in Tower Grove South. The location in the Euclid South CID soon followed, opening on February 14, 2019.
The Business
The idea for CBD Kratom came after Mr. Nice Guy, Dafna and David's other business, started carrying CBD. They noticed a different clientele of people interested in CBD products. Generally, the people that visit CBD Kratom are ages 35 and up, as well as a vast customer base of ages 60 and up. Dafna and David saw an opportunity to open in the Euclid South neighborhood because it was a chance to educate consumers on CBD and give 1-on-1 advice, compared to big retailers and online distributors that sell CBD products. When asked why they decided to open a CBD Kratom in the Euclid South CID, Dafna said, "It's very accessible to those in the city and the county." Opening in the Central West End was an easy decision for Dafna and David, who have previously lived in the neighborhood.
CBD Kratom offers a range of CBD products, including tinctures, oils, topicals, edibles, cat and dog treats, hemp flour, and much more. With locations in Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, Los Angeles, and soon Houston, CBD Kratom has around 190 employees company-wide. Consistency is a significant factor in how Dafna and David run their business in each CBD Kratom location. CBD Kratom strives to create a cohesive brand, meaning each location's employees receive the same training and provide the same service and 1-on-1 approach. This training comes into play with many customers who stop by who are experiencing pain or ailments and need education on products that benefit them. This unique approach is what separates CBD Kratom from its competitors.
Community Impact
Since opening in the Euclid South CID, CBD Kratom has participated in community events in the Central West End and other neighborhoods around St. Louis. Most recently, they had a booth at Pride Fest in downtown St. Louis with giveaways and prizes for participants. This past May, CBD Kratom participated in Rosé Day in the Central West End and the Cinco De Mayo street festival on Cherokee Street. Be on the lookout for a CBD Kratom near you!
