Maine craft cannabis. Bangor + Orono.
Firestorm runs two Maine storefronts, a flagship in Bangor and an outpost in Orono, both licensed by Maine's Office of Cannabis Policy. Bud Authority built a store-aware site with a crawlable Dutchie menu at each location: clicks to the Orono menu page climbed from 353 to 544 in July 2026.

The partnership
Bud AuthorityThe systemThe flameTwo Maine storefronts, one flagship and one outpost, needed a site that read as one brand without pretending to be one location. We gave Firestorm a store-aware switcher, an honest loyalty page, and Penobscot County SEO built for both towns at once.

Under the hood
Unmistakable up top.
Engineered underneath.
Store-aware switcher
A homepage active-versus-switch card pattern using real photography of the Bangor and Orono storefronts, so choosing a store never means guessing which one you are looking at.
Honest, in-store loyalty copy
The 'Shop. Bank. Burn.' loyalty page states plainly that point values are posted in store, ask a budtender, rather than publishing unverifiable numbers online.
Persistent Bangor + Orono ticker
A scrolling bar above the header carrying veteran and student discount notices, hours for both stores, and 'From Maine. For Maine.'
Ember-on-black identity system
A near-black ground with the deep flame-red accent, engineered as a real token system that reinforces the Firestorm name across every route.
Programmatic near-me pages
Per-store area and landmark pages, including Brewer, Bangor International Airport and the University of Maine, built from shared data instead of hand-authored one by one.
Crawlable Dutchie menu, Penobscot County SEO
A server-rendered shell around the embedded Dutchie menu at each store, with schema and NAP built for Bangor and Orono, mobile-first throughout.
