Property Description
Listing #5257
Asking Price: $499,000
WeCann is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a fully licensed and fully built-out retail cannabis dispensary located at 190 Skyline Plaza, Daly City, CA 94015. This offering represents a rare opportunity to enter one of the Bay Area’s most supply-constrained cannabis retail markets through an established, shopping-center-based location with long-term lease security.
Situated within a 75,000 square foot, high-traffic retail center with national anchor tenants and 359 shared parking spaces, this dispensary benefits from consistent consumer traffic and strong visibility in a traditional retail environment. Cannabis retailers operating within institutional-grade shopping centers, particularly in higher-income Northern California communities, remain exceptionally rare. The co-tenancy dynamic creates meaningful cross-shopping potential, capturing customers visiting the center for everyday retail needs.
Daly City’s position as a gateway market between San Francisco and the Peninsula further strengthens this investment. The city combines dense residential neighborhoods, strong household incomes, direct commuter access, and limited cannabis license issuance. Compared to neighboring municipalities such as Oakland and San Francisco, where dispensary saturation and occupancy costs are significantly higher. Daly City offers a more balanced supply environment and favorable long-term positioning for operators focused on sustainable growth.
The dispensary is fully built out, fully licensed to operate, and previously operational. The sellers have elected to close the business, creating an opportunity for a buyer to relaunch operations immediately without the time and risk associated with new license procurement or construction.

MARKET OVERVIEW: DALY CITY
Demographics
- Population: Approximately 104,000 residents
- Immediate proximity to San Francisco (~815,000 residents)
- Dense residential housing stock
- Strong commuter traffic
- Median household income exceeding $110,000
Daly City benefits from a stable consumer base supported by employment centers in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the broader Peninsula. Its geographic position along Highway 1, Interstate 280, and Skyline Boulevard provides convenient regional access.
CANNABIS REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT & MARKET SATURATION
Daly City has maintained a controlled approach to cannabis retail licensing, resulting in limited competition relative to many Northern California markets.
Comparative Market Saturation
City | Population | Approx. Dispensaries | Residents per Dispensary |
Daly City | ~104,000 | ~4 | ~26,000 |
San Francisco | ~815,000 | ~40 | ~20,000 |
Oakland | ~430,000 | ~35 | ~12,000 |
With approximately one dispensary per 26,000 residents, Daly City remains significantly less saturated than Oakland and moderately less saturated than San Francisco. This more conservative license environment supports stronger long-term revenue stability and reduced competitive compression.
CURRENT PERFORMANCE & UPSIDE
Prior to closure, the business was averaging approximately:
- $1,000 per day in sales
- $42,000 in revenue during its most recent full month
Given the strength of the location, surrounding demographics, and limited competitive landscape, this revenue level appears materially below the potential performance of a well-branded and properly marketed operation.
Identified Opportunity Areas
- Improved exterior visibility and signage clarity
- Clearer cannabis-forward branding
- Targeted local marketing initiatives
- Stronger customer retention and loyalty programming
- Optimized product assortment and pricing strategy
An experienced operator could reasonably expect meaningful revenue improvement through operational execution alone.
