Planet 13 Holdings Inc (CSE:PLTH) (OTCQX:PLNHF) has announced that it is adding 40 cash registers, hiring 80 additional employees and expanding its dispensary floor as it adapts to a steady uptick in Las Vegas tourist traffic.
The 80 jobs will be filled as soon as possible, the company said, as visitors flock back to Vegas, with many hotels reporting their highest occupancy numbers since before the coronavirus pandemic was declared in March 2020.
“We’re very pleased that Vegas is coming back to life and feeling like Vegas again, and we’re happy that as tourists return, we’re able to hire for multiple positions immediately,” Planet 13 co-CEO Larry Scheffler said in a statement. “Plus, in the next few months, hundreds of more jobs will become available at our new SuperStore in Santa Ana California.”

Specifically, the company said it plans to hire roughly 250 workers by July for the new Orange County, California SuperStore, Planet 13’s first expansion out of Nevada. Available positions in California and Nevada include management, inventory, human resources, packaging, sales floor associates and delivery drivers for the dispensary, along with restaurant workers for Planet 13’s popular Trece restaurant.
Located inside the Planet 13 Las Vegas Entertainment SuperStore Complex, Trece Eatery + Spirits is a culinary experience with “out of this world signature Mexican dishes, artisan pizzas, and specialty cocktails,” the company said, along with 24 beers on tap.
“Our brand-new beautiful greenhouse restaurant will light up your senses while you embark on a flavorful journey,” Trece executive chef Manny Sanchez said.
