In 2016, Joseph Wilker decided it was time for a change when the school in which he was teaching began to lose its focus on putting students first. Mike Weiner, a business owner Wilker had known for over 30 years, suggested that he look into benefits of cannabinoids as a possible career change. After much research and picking the brains of many, many people, he was sold on its health benefits and business potential. So Wilker and Weiner started Cool Breeze Distributors, LLC. Wilker’s background in education as a health teacher was an excellent fit. Wilker’s son, who had a background in biochemistry, was also invited to join the business to help in product research. 

The distributorship grew, and after a few years, they felt it was time to branch out, so they opened The Hemp Oil Store, in Yardley. “We found that people needed a lot of education on CBD and hemp—what it is, if it’s safe to use, what to expect when using, etc. And we also needed to correct the notion that one product fits all, which, unfortunately, is still prevalent in our business,” explains Wilker. “People need a more personal and informative approach about what these cannabinoids can do, and how, to improve overall well-being for themselves and their pets. Each person’s body is different, so no two people will react to CBD or hemp in exactly the same way.”

As a family-run business, they have the opportunity to help educate customers in a more personal way. Their commitment is to offer high-quality CBD products at affordable prices. All brands and products are thoroughly vetted to ensure they use high-quality, domestic hemp. Each product is third-party lab tested to verify its quality and safety. 

“We carry a wide variety of products to fit every lifestyle. Our selection includes a large number of THC-free products that are safe for everyone, including individuals that may get drug tested. For individuals looking for topical relief, we carry a wide variety of creams, lotions and sticks that utilize menthol, camphor and other natural ingredients in addition to CBD,” states Weiner. Featured offerings include beauty products such as bath bombs and mud masks that allow the individual to relax and unwind while enjoying the benefits of CBD, a selection of CBD droppers in a variety of strengths and flavors for the perfect dose of CBD, and a wide variety of products to support pet needs.

Wilker shares, “Our knack for selecting only the finest quality hemp oil is what led us to create our own exclusive line of hemp oil products, Colorado Brands Direct. We are dedicated to providing quality and value in our products and customer service, and we hope that your experience mirrors those goals.”
