Proximity Synergy

When the bonus applies

All of the following must be true:

• One store is a Dispensary and the other a Smoke Shop. Two Dispensaries, or two Smoke Shops, do nothing for each other.
• Both are in the same district. A partner across a district boundary does not count, even if the walk is short.
• They are close enough to walk between: their nearest entrances are within about 70 meters, roughly a block or less.
• Both are open for business. A store set to Temporarily closed in the Business app neither gives nor receives the bonus until it reopens.

How big it is

Stores under the same owner receive a stronger bonus than a pair owned by different people, because one owner can promote both: about 10% more customers per hour, against about 5% for a pair with different owners. AI-owned stores count as partners too.

Each store receives one bonus at most. Surrounding a Smoke Shop with several Dispensaries adds nothing beyond the first qualifying partner, so this rewards a sensible second location rather than a cluster.

Planning with it

Think of it as a location-planning decision: when you scout a second store, a nearby complementary business in the same district is worth more than the same building a district away.
