History
Henk de Vries began selling marijuana in 1970 at the Kralingen Music Festival, a pop festival in Kralingse Bos. In 1975 he converted his father's sex shop in Amsterdam's red-light district into The Bulldog coffee shop and began slowly expanding. In 2001 the company began distributing internationally.[1] The group operates hotels in Amsterdam and Canada.[1]
In 2010 The Bulldog was ordered to cease the sale and distribution of its own brand of energy drink, following a lengthy legal dispute with Red Bull GmbH, makers of Red Bull.[2]
In Canada
The Bulldog™ chain owns and operates The Bulldog Hotel Silver Star, a small hotel with 26 guest rooms, and also houses the 150-cover Grand Café (inside, covered patio and uncovered patio) as well as the 49-cover Hideaway Lounge (wine bar) in Silver Star Mountain Resort, British Columbia, Canada.[3] The Bulldog Hotel Silver Star also manages Silver Star Accommodation, the largest independent vacation rental pool on Silver Star Mountain. There are 80 properties in this rental pool including everything from a 6-bedroom luxury house to studio condominiums and everything in between.
