The one licensed cannabis store nearby
Census Bureau estimates put the town at 19,195 residents in 2024, on 6.0 square miles of land in the Naugatuck Valley Planning Region.
In Derby, planning and zoning limited the city to one cannabis retailer, the Valley Independent Sentinel reported in 2024, and that retailer is us.
Getting to the store
Set your map to 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418 and follow its route from your street, with a few extra minutes when the roads are busy. If you use Route 8, exit 13A is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so drivers heading south cannot get off there.
We have free on-site parking. The lot has 90 parking spaces, the Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025.
Our store page has the full store details, and our post on what to expect at the Bud Bar walks through a visit. Our highway guide to the store covers the exit and ramps, and our Seymour, Shelton and Beacon Falls pages cover the trip from those towns.
Ordering ahead, pickup and scheduled delivery
Our online ordering is open 24/7, so you can place a pickup order from home and collect it at the counter when you arrive.
Ansonia is on the delivery list for our store, and delivery orders are scheduled ahead rather than sent as soon as possible. Checkout on the live menu shows the order minimum, fee and delivery slot for your address, and our delivery page explains how the service works.
Places in town worth knowing before you go
The city was incorporated in 1889. Its library at 53 South Cliff Street is a brownstone Richardsonian Romanesque building from 1892, donated to the city by Caroline Phelps Stokes, according to the National Park Service record for the building.
The city's 2015 events calendar listed the Nature and Recreation Center on Deerfield Road at 156 acres of wetlands, fields and woodlands.
