Subject: Support for Embarc San Luis Obispo at 2400 Broad Street
Dear Commissioners,
As a proud local owner of Embarc San Luis Obispo and a member of the Community Advisory Board
(CAB), I am writing to express my unwavering support for Embarc’s Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
application for 2400 Broad St. It’s been a privilege to be part of this process, and what has stood out to
me most is the genuine effort Embarc has made to earn the trust of this community.
I’m a local long-time cannabis activist, dedicated to making sure that the community can benefit from
the health and wellness opportunities associated with cannabis products. I’ve also been an advocate
for local business for decades, leading the Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce and partnering in a
number of nearby cannabis businesses in SLO County. In the worlds of cannabis advocacy and
business, trust doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built over time by showing up, listening, and following
through on commitments. That’s exactly what Embarc has done here in San Luis Obispo. From day
one, they have prioritized transparency and accountability, ensuring that every step of the process
was guided by the values of this community. By assembling a local CAB made up of people who truly
understand the needs of San Luis Obispo, Embarc has made it clear that they are here to serve, not
just to operate.
One of the things that sets Embarc apart is how deeply they’ve engaged with community members
and leaders, ensuring that their presence will bring tangible benefits. Whether it’s through economic
1
investment, local hiring, or charitable contributions, Embarc has consistently demonstrated their
commitment to giving back to the community that supports them.
At its core, this is a company that is about more than just business. They are about building
relationships, supporting local causes, and ensuring that their operations align with the values of San
Luis Obispo. I strongly encourage you to approve Embarc’s CUP, as I know they will continue to earn
the trust of this community and show up in ways that make a real difference.
Sincerely,
Sunni Vogel
Local Owner, Embarc SLO
