A Journey into Innovation and Inspiration
At Danu Wellness, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve in the wellness and THC industries, ensuring we bring the best products and experiences to our customers. Key to this commitment is attending industry-leading events like the CHAMPS Trade Show in Las Vegas. Known as one of the premier counterculture expos since 1999, CHAMPS is the ultimate destination for discovering innovative trends, exceptional vendors, and vibrant community interactions.
Join us as we share our exciting experiences, unveil the new vendors joining our lineup, and highlight how this show fuels our passion for creating a unique store experience.
The Key to CHAMPS Success? Preparation
Walking into CHAMPS without a strategy can feel overwhelming. With hundreds of exhibitors showcasing products from smoking accessories to hand-blown glass art, it’s easy to get lost in the sheer magnitude. That’s why our team at Danu Wellness meticulously planned in advance.
Our process began with an extensive review of every vendor listed. This wasn’t about quantity—it was about quality. We examined websites, evaluated product compatibility with our brand, and ensured the use of full-panel lab testing for transparency and safety. After hours of careful vetting, we narrowed the list to fewer than 30 vendors suitable for our store.
Meet Our New Vendors
We’re thrilled to introduce four incredible brands joining the Danu Wellness family. Each was chosen because they stand out for their quality, innovation, and alignment with our customers’ needs.
1. Chapo Extrax
Chapo Extrax offers some of the most potent THC products on the market, ensuring an elevated experience for seasoned enthusiasts. Our customers love products that blend creativity with potency, and Chapo Extrax delivers expertly on both fronts.
2. Not Your Bakery
This hand-crafted edibles company takes a fun and tasty approach to THC consumption. Known for their unique flavor combinations and consistent quality, Not Your Bakery is bound to become a customer favorite.
3. Indigo Papers
Indigo is committed to sourcing the finest hemp and crafting delivery methods that prioritize both quality and practicality. Their drink products stand out for being top-tier, user-friendly, and free from harmful chemicals or additives.
Each premium product is thoughtfully made by passionate and skilled individuals using natural ingredients, offering an unparalleled experience. With awesome beverage flavors like High Tide, Spicy Pineapple, and Vice City Dream Soda, we know these will quickly become a favorite of yours!
4. Best Dirty Lemonade
Who said wellness couldn’t taste this good? Best Dirty Lemonade combines delicious flavors with clean, high-quality THC infusions for a refreshing take on cannabis beverages.
These brands represent the innovation and quality we aim to bring to you, and we can’t wait for you to explore their offerings.
Restocking Fan Favorites
While we uncovered exciting new products, we still made time to revisit trusted partners. Events like CHAMPS are an excellent opportunity to secure deals and replenish inventory of beloved products. This year, we restocked customer favorites from WCW and Pure P’s, ensuring you don’t miss out on your go-to essentials.
A Creative Highlight: Glass Blowing Games
The Vegas CHAMPS show isn’t just about products—it’s an experience. One of the standout attractions this year was the glass-blowing games, where talented artists competed to craft stunning, one-of-a-kind glass pieces before a live audience.
This event showcased the artistry and dedication within the counterculture community, demonstrating that creativity and craftsmanship go hand in hand with functionality. The sheer talent on display was inspiring, and we’re excited to brainstorm ways to incorporate exclusive glass pieces into our offerings soon.
Lessons from Vegas Dispensaries
Every trip to Vegas provides insights into the recreational cannabis market. Visiting dispensaries in a recreational state, particularly NUWU, offered valuable lessons. Located on a reservation, NUWU stands out for its tax-free status, consumption lounge, and creative theme nights (ladies’ night with free pre-rolls, anyone?).
While we also explored other dispensaries like Planet 13, Curaleaf, and Green Cannabis Co, NUWU’s welcoming atmosphere cemented itself as our favorite. These visits gave us plenty of ideas to enhance the Danu Wellness store experience—think personalized customer perks and event-style interactions.
Commitment to Growth and Quality
Every CHAMPS show is an opportunity for exploration, discovery, and innovation. Beyond the bustling booths and creative competitions, it’s a chance to reflect on what we bring back to our customers. This experience fuels our dedication to delivering exceptional products and building a stronger community of wellness and THC enthusiasts.
We’re excited to share these discoveries with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new arrivals. Visit Danu Wellness to explore these curated selections and fan-favorite restocks, and stay tuned for more updates as we continue to elevate your experience.
