# Cannabis Store Pizza Shops Planet 13 is Adding a Pizzeria and Coffee Shop to Its Giant Dispensary By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-03-05 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-13 References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26591912/planet-13-holdings-largest-weed-company-adding-restaurants/) To help keep the munchies at bay, [Planet 13](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemp-based-ice-cream) has announced that it will be adding a pizzeria and coffee shop to it 112,000 square-foot dispensary." Dubbed the "largest Cannabis superstore and entertainment complex on planet earth," Planet 13 will offer consumers a lot more than just weed. Planet 13 recently began construction on a new [coffee shop and pizzeria](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kopizza) as part of the dispensary's Phase II expansion. The restaurant will be operated by an Arizona-based chain called Rickety Cricket, which has won numerous awards for its pizzas. While the idea of a pizza shop inside a [cannabis store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-cannabis-presence) may sound like an odd pairing, the idea is to make the superstore into a destination for people who come to purchase cannabis products and those who come to see the store, but don't actually want to buy cannabis. As Planet 13 co-CEO Larry Scheffler explains, "The coffee shop and bistro/pizzeria will act as a draw and a tool to service that customer."
