The Shed Vapes

The Shed Vapes is a repeat winner. For the 2022 Best of the Parkland, they won Best Vape Shop, and were a Finalist for Best Philanthropic Business and a Finalist for Best Specialty Shop in Bonne Terre.

The business, located at 6326 Hillsboro Road in Bonne Terre, was chosen Best CBD/Vape Shop in 2021.

The Shed Vapes is a wholesale vapor shop that started in owner Stan Janis’ kitchen in 2018 before moving to a small building on his property.

Janis and co-owner Jordan Wood now operate the business out of a 12-foot-by-34-foot shed, which is where the business’ name comes from. The pair sell vapor products to help people quit smoking.

Since the shop opened, the staff have helped more than 5,000 people kick their smoking habits.

“Our mission is to help people quit smoking and chewing tobacco at an affordable price,” said Janis. “We are wholesale to the public, which is about half the cost of a retail vape shop, and we only sell quality products.”

The Shed Vapes sells their products for little to no profit, which allows people to have an inexpensive option to help them quit smoking. Any profit the store receives is used to help area law enforcement agencies, fire departments, military charities and other “We are fair with people on cost,” said Janis, “and we teach new customers how to use equipment and will help them with an alternative to smoking, eventually working with customers to quit vaping as well.”

Janis said the staff prioritizes their customer service by teaching and supporting their customers through their journey to a safer alternative to tobacco products.

“We know our customers, most on a first-name basis, and we work with them to take them on a path to using a safer alternative to tobacco products,” he said.

Since the shop opened, they have grown to carry more than 200 brands and flavors of e-juice and the latest in vaping equipment.

While the vapor shop is smaller than most area shops, Janis said they carry more products and varieties than others.

“We’re not trying to put anybody’s shop out of business,” said Janis. “If we don’t have what they need, we send them to other shops in the area.”

The Shed Vapes’ goal is not to pull traffic in but rather to help the people who may not have the money to spend on more expensive retail tobacco alternatives.

“Thank you for the votes and for the confidence and support of The Shed Vapes,” said Janis. “It means a lot to us and is very much appreciated. It also helps a lot of people. We are here for the community, and we hope that we help them in their journey with a safer alternative to tobacco products.”

Co-Owners Jordan Wood and Stan Janis have helped more than 5,000 people kick their smoking habits.
