Boulder County Mask Mandates Have Changed (9.3.21)
In response to a surge in delta variant cases, Boulder County is reinstating its indoor mask mandate beginning Fri, Sep 3, 2021 at 5pm. Regardless of vaccination status, all guests are now required to wear a mask while shopping at Karing Kind in North Boulder.
While these mask mandates are new, our commitment to customer safety is not. Other steps we have already taken to keep our staff and customers safe will remain in effect, including:
- All staff wear masks and sanitize the shop and common surfaces throughout the day
- Disposable masks are available for purchase for all guests
- When necessary to allow for social distancing, we will limit the total number of guests allowed to shop inside at a time
- To help ensure a speedy but comfortable and convenient shopping experience for all of our visitors, we encourage guests to browse our online menu and reserve their order in advance (you can always add or remove items from your order in store)
We want to thank all of our customers for their flexibility during these trying times.
Have any questions? Call 303-449-9333 to speak with a budtender.

ORIGINAL COVID-19 UPDATE (see above for the most recent information about our hours and procedures)
At Karing Kind, customer and employee health and safety has always been our top priority.
The COVID-19 virus is affecting every aspect of life in Boulder and around the country. We’ve been carefully monitoring the situation—including updates from Colorado Governor Jared Polis, Boulder County health officials, and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health organizations.
In addition to the extensive health and safety practices we have always followed to ensure pure, clean products, we have developed additional precautionary measures to ensure we help protect our customers and employees during this trying time.
We Remain Open to Serve You – Our hours will remain the same for the time being (open daily from 9am – 10pm). We will notify email and text subscribers if there are any changes.
We Request You Pre-Order Whenever Possible – To help with social distancing, we are encouraging all shoppers to pre-order from our online menu for faster pick-up in store. If you are coming inside to shop, please try to maintain a 6 foot gap between yourself and other guests, and leave your friends or family in the car while you browse.
You can pre-order online here.
Please Stay Home If You’re Feeling Any Symptoms – We ask that you postpone your visit if you experience any flu-like symptoms or if you have reason to believe you may have been exposed to the novel coronavirus or come in contact with someone who has. We reserve the right to refuse service as needed to protect our employees and customers.
Enhanced Cleanliness – Our standard cleaning procedures have always used certified disinfectants to maintain the cleanliness of our dispensary and equipment. We sanitize our waiting and display areas multiple times every day, and our budtenders wash or disinfect their hands after every interaction. We now also provide hand sanitizer on location for our customers.
Thank you for your trust in us during this challenging time. We will send updates if there are any changes to our hours or procedures.
Thank you and stay safe,
