Four years ago, Cloud City Supply opened in the heart of downtown Campbell with the intention of connecting local patrons and curious onlookers through elevated cannabis experiences. One engineer’s leap of faith into entrepreneurship swiftly evolved into an initiative that would benefit the entire community. Today, Cloud City is a staple destination and a hub for community gatherings, cannabis education, and alternative wellness solutions. This month marks the store’s fourth year in business, three of which Mercury News readers have voted it the best CBD store in Silicon Valley— a huge honor that couldn’t have been made possible without you.
Founder story
Founder and CEO Amy Taylor is an innate problem solver. Her decision to open Cloud City came as a natural extension of her work in electrical and systems engineering. Amy’s love for cannabis through a midlife transition inspired her to share her knowledge in hopes of helping others going through similar situations. Thus, her passion project took a new form. The result? A warm and welcoming space for people to explore the wonders of cannabis as a natural wellness remedy at their own pace.
The Sunday ritual
If you’re local to downtown Campbell, then you know what a treat Sundays at Cloud City are. There are so many things to look forward to: the aroma of freshly brewed CBD coffee in the air, live music playing in the courtyard, followed by a DJ who picks up the tempo for an upbeat vibe; neighbors greeting each other, friends bonding over brunch, and parents enjoying a moment of serenity while their kids play worry-free. As if all of that wasn’t compelling enough for your Sunday morning routine, the energy inside the store itself is undeniable. The budtenders wear smiles on their faces and are all ears, ready to dive into a cannabis consultation that addresses your unique needs.
A trustworthy community resource
Over the past four years, these small moments and pockets of joy have become an essential component of Cloud City’s weekly wellness routine, which you’re invited to join. As a resource hub, one aspect the store values most about the relationship it has built with its local community is trust. Beyond offering the best CBD products on the market, Cloud City has become an inclusive gathering space where individuals can discover innovative wellness techniques, enjoy themselves safely and responsibly, and make new friends. The staff thrives on curating this intimate environment, holding the honor in high regard. Cloud City Supply is dedicated to providing the support you need to achieve a pain-free and stress-free lifestyle.
The trust conveyed by families who feel comfortable bringing their kids to events hosted by a cannabis store humbles Amy, who devotes the majority of her free time to community contribution. In addition to running Cloud City and working a full-time corporate engineering job, this ambitious leader is also the sitting president of the Downtown Campbell Business Association (DCBA) and a board member of the Campbell Police Foundation (CPF). Needless to say, she cares thoroughly and meticulously about serving her community.
A brand built on relationships
As trusted advisors and cannabis consultants, Cloud City’s budtenders gift shoppers with both answers and advice. Considering cannabis education is at the heart of everything they do, no question is off limits. These experts make you feel both confident and cared for. In doing so, unlock organic solutions for a range of ailments, spanning chronic pain, social anxiety, and daily stress management.
Unlike other stores, Cloud City ensures you have all the tools you need to get the most out of your cannabis products. More importantly, you’ll get guided instructions on how to use them, eliminating the fear, confusion, and overwhelm. Whether you’re a first-timer or an avid user, Cloud City’s budtenders will show you how to maximize your experience.
Finally, Amy prides herself on the relationships she has built with neighboring business owners. These connections have enabled them to collaborate on recurring community events and initiatives, such as an annual blood drive, Halloween costume contests, and monthly community-building opportunities. Thanks to a cohesive effort, this collective has become the glue that binds downtown Campbell together.
As Cloud City turns four, Amy reflects on all its accomplishments in such a short period. She looks out on the courtyard on one of those sunny Sunday afternoons. Her heart feels full as she thinks about the meaningful work she and her team have done, the community they’ve built, and the lives they’ve touched. Cheers to the first four years down, and decades more to come!
