Some customers visiting the new Greenlane restaurant on Dale Mabry in Tampa were surprised by the nature of the business when they arrived.
“I thought for sure this was a weed dispensary when I drove by,” said local vegan Lisa Hurtzog. “That’s fine, though. I could go for some mashed chickpeas, tofu and alfalfa sprouts.”
“I knew it was a restaurant,” said marijuana enthusiast Reggie Witlop. “But I came in to see if I could buy some weed anyway. You never know.”
Further confusing them was the presence of former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski, who has a stake in the venture and was on hand to help promote the grand opening on Friday.
“Wait… is that a cop? Why is there a cop here??” questioned Hurtzog. “Oh, it’s a football guy. Okay. Wait; that makes even less sense.”
“What is even going on here right now?” she added.
”I don’t know that he works here works here but there’s a guy named Ryan or Brian out back who hooked me up with some dank kush and some mashed chickpeas,” said Willow. “I think this is my new favorite restaurant.”
