Which cannabis store serves Ansonia, CT?
Hi! People Derby, at 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418, is the cannabis store for Ansonia, which sits immediately north of Derby. The town had no licensed cannabis store on the state's retail list on October 7, 2026. Pick up at our counter, or ask us to schedule delivery to your door. Our store page has the full details.
Getting to Pershing Drive by car, micro transit and rail
By car, take Route 8 to the exit 13A ramp signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia, which is close to the store. Exit 13A is the current number for Pershing Drive, and that exit was number 16 on Route 8 before mileage based renumbering, so follow the signs for 13A. It is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so drivers heading south cannot get off there. Our Route 8 guide covers the ramps.
If you would rather not drive, VTD2GO is a new way to get around Ansonia, Derby and Shelton, and Valley Transit District operates it on its VTD2GO page. Check its page for how to book before you rely on a ride to the store.
The train station is changing too. CTDOT's station project page says the existing station sits near restaurants and businesses, housing, and a major industrial development site, and that a new 350-foot platform will run north to the Maple Street Bridge. It lists the new platform opening in June 2027. Because the line has a single track, CTDOT says major work at the Ansonia and Beacon Falls stations cannot be completed safely while trains are running.

Aisles to browse before you head out
Our online ordering takes orders at any hour, and the shop is split into aisles. Every aisle page pulls live items from the menu of whichever store you have chosen, so set your store before you browse. A sensible browsing order is flower, pre-rolls or infused pre-rolls, followed by vapes, edibles, drinks and concentrates. When you are ready, open the full shop and place a pickup order.
Payment, ID and delivery to your door
Pay with cash or a debit card at the Pershing Drive counter, because credit cards cannot be used. If you are short on cash, an ATM is on site. Have a valid government-issued photo ID ready, since shoppers must be adults 21 and older.

Questions shoppers ask before the drive
Does Hi! People deliver to my address?
Yes, we schedule delivery to covered addresses, and checkout confirms each address. You book it ahead of time instead of having it sent as soon as possible. Only the adult who placed the order may accept it, and that adult must be 21 or older with matching ID. Cash or a debit card pays for it when the order reaches your door.
Which Route 8 exit is current for the store?
Exit 13A is the current number for Pershing Drive. That exit was number 16 on Route 8 before mileage based renumbering. If an older map or web page shows another number, follow the signs for 13A, which is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so drivers heading south need another way in.
How do I pay at the store?
Cash and debit cards both work at the counter, and credit cards cannot be used. If you arrive without cash, there is an ATM on site. Delivery payment at the door is also cash or debit card, so plan the same way for either kind of order.
Is there parking at the store?
Yes, we have free on-site parking. In January 2025 the Valley Independent Sentinel reported 90 parking spaces on the lot. Order ahead on the live menu, then park, walk in and collect it at the counter with your ID. Cash and debit cards are accepted, and credit cards cannot be used.
Is there micro transit service in town?
VTD2GO is a micro transit service that Valley Transit District describes as a new way to get around Ansonia, Derby and Shelton, so it is worth a look if you would rather not drive. Check the Valley Transit District page for how to book before you rely on it for a ride to the store.
Who can place an order with Hi! People?
