Case Study: Megan's Organic Market enhances retail security and incident response with Verkada

How a Cannabis Collective Upholds Retail Security and Industry Requirements with Verkada

Megan’s Organic Market (MOM), a 100% women-owned cannabis collective and retail operator in California, needed a physical security solution that could meet strict city, county, state, and federal requirements. For its flagship San Luis Obispo storefront, the team needed continuous recording, live video access for police, and high-resolution coverage of cash-counting areas and the entire sales floor. MOM chose Verkada’s hybrid cloud camera system to help support compliance and day-to-day security.

Verkada provided MOM with indoor and outdoor cameras, hybrid cloud storage, secure remote access through Verkada Command, and analytics like person-of-interest alerts, vehicle analytics, and heatmaps. The system helped Sarah Wells and her team quickly investigate incidents, share footage with law enforcement, track shoplifting patterns, and identify missing inventory, while also supporting long retention requirements of up to 365 days. With Verkada, MOM improved loss prevention, liability protection, and operational insight, and plans to use heatmaps to optimize store layout and customer flow.
