How much does a dispensary make in a day?

Based on the most recent data, the average daily sales for a marijuana dispensary typically range from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on various factors such as location, size, and market conditions1. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  1. Average range: $5,000 to $6,000 per day
  2. Peak sales: Can reach up to $15,000 or more during holidays
  3. Urban areas with high foot traffic: Tend to see higher daily sales

 

Factors influencing daily sales include:

  • Location and market size
  • Product variety
  • Customer base (regular customers, medical patients, tourists)
  • Effective management and operations
  • Use of technology (point-of-sale systems, loyalty programs)

 

It’s important to note that these figures can vary significantly. Some dispensaries in states with limited retail licenses or newer markets may see higher daily sales. For example, the top-performing dispensary in New Mexico is on pace to record $17.5 million in sales for 2024, which averages to about $47,945 per day.

However, profitability varies widely across the industry. As of 2025, only 27.3% of U.S. cannabis businesses are profitable, with profit margins typically ranging between 10% to 20%
