We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of Paul and Sonia, who have just opened Royal Blend Dispensary, the second legal dispensary in Ulster County, located in Rosendale, NY. This milestone is a testament to their relentless perseverance and dedication.
Seasoned Gives first partnered with Paul and Sonia to strengthen Main Street Poughkeepsie restaurants during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. As owners of a Jamaican cuisine restaurant in Poughkeepsie, they faced numerous obstacles. However, their unwavering commitment to breaking down barriers and destigmatizing cannabis use has been truly inspiring. Paul and Sonia have always been more than just entrepreneurs—they are lifelong advocates for the underprivileged and champions for those mistreated by the system.
Paul and Sonia’s entrepreneurial journey is deeply rooted in their Jamaican heritage. Before immigrating to the United States, Sonia and her family ran a successful business in Kingston, Jamaica, producing and selling home goods, while Paul pursued a career in the arts. Their move to America was driven by their dream of building a better life for their family, and they initially took on various jobs to make ends meet.
However, their vision and hard work eventually led to the creation of Royal Blend Group of Services, Inc., which expanded to include a perfume and cosmetic business, a Jamaican & Soul Food restaurant, and now, their latest venture, Royal Blend Dispensary LLC.
The path to opening Royal Blend Dispensary was not without its challenges. Paul and Sonia faced significant difficulties securing financing and navigating the complex regulatory landscape of the cannabis industry. Yet their resilience and determination saw them through, making their success a shining example of overcoming adversity and the power of collaboration.
Their journey is a story of triumph, driven by their passion for creating opportunities for others and advocating for those who have been marginalized. We congratulate Paul and Sonia on this remarkable achievement and look forward to the positive impact Royal Blend Dispensary will have on the Rosendale community and beyond.
