Terrapin Care Station pledges $15 minimum wage

BOULDER — Terrapin Care Station, a Boulder-based chain of cannabis dispensaries, will raise its minimum wage for employees companywide to $15 per hour.

“Terrapin wants to lead by example, which is why we are doing this on our own, regardless of what happens with Denver’s minimum wage proposal,” TCS CEO Chris Woods said in a prepared statement. “We know that this is the right thing to do to retain employees and provide a living wage as the cost of living continues to spike.” 

The firm’s decision comes as the Denver City Council considers raising the city’s minimum wage to $15 for all employees. Colorado’s minimum wage is currently $11.10 per hour.
