The Orange County Cannabis Co (OCC), located in Wawayanda, New York, is the vision of Howard Libron, a life-long New Yorker and resident of Orange County.
Howard’s background is in hospitality. He previously owned and operated a local Subway franchise. This equipped Howard with deep experience managing the customer experience and keeping them loyal. His history of customer service has informed the design and mission of Orange County Cannabis Co. Howard is also a cannabis veteran with roots in the legacy cannabis market. He hopes his new dispensary and the opening of the legal market will end the stigmatization around who consumes and sells cannabis.
At its core, OCC is a family operation. It will be managed by Howard’s daughter, Shantel Libron, and Howard plans to leave the business to his daughters and grandchildren. Chantelle previously served as a regional manager at Rite Aid and has a background in managing employees and assisting customers with product recommendations.
