Which cannabis store serves Cheshire, CT?
Hi! People Derby, at 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418, is the cannabis store shoppers from town drive to, about 33 minutes from the center without traffic. DCP's list showed no cannabis store in Cheshire on November 11, 2026. Order ahead and pick up at our counter with valid government-issued photo ID.
Down Route 10 and the exit near the store
The town's own directions page puts Town Hall on the corner of Wallingford Road and Route 10, and Route 10 is one of the three roads on the drive we list. The exit 13A ramp is signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia, and it is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance. Follow the signs for 13A, and the ramp is close to the store. Our highway guide covers the rest of the corridor.
An older map may still call it exit 16, which was that ramp's number before mileage based renumbering. Connecticut DOT began mileage based exit number signs on Route 8 on July 8, 2024. Once you arrive, park free in our on-site lot. The Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 that the store has 90 parking spaces.
Lock 12, the Hitchcock-Phillips House and the rest of town
This Naugatuck Valley town was incorporated in 1780, covers 32.8 square miles of land and had an estimated 30,610 residents in 2024. The town's own page says it retains its suburban and rural character with numerous active farms and over 4,800 acres of protected open space, and that it has been named the Bedding Plant Capital of Connecticut. Town Hall is at 84 South Main Street.
Lock 12 Historical Park sits at 487 North Brooksvale Road, and CTvisit lists a restored section of the Farmington Canal that operated from 1828 to 1848. The park also lists a 2.9-mile hiking/biking trail alongside a museum and a helicoidal bridge, according to the state tourism listing.
The Hitchcock-Phillips House at 43 Church Drive is a 1785 colonial home open for tours. The Cheshire Historical Society says the house is open on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, so check its page for exceptions before you plan a stop.
Building the pickup order before you leave
We keep online ordering available at any hour, so you can start an order the night before the drive. Open the full shop or start in the flower aisle, and choose pickup. Licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors are who we prioritize when we pick products.
If you would rather choose in person, a host with an iPad helps you browse the menu and place the order. At the Bud Bar we let you view and smell strains before you buy. Call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837) with a question before you set out, and see our Derby store page or locations page for both stores.
Questions shoppers from town ask before the drive
Does Hi! People deliver to Cheshire?
No. This town is not one of the 14 towns on Derby's delivery list, so shopping from town means ordering ahead and picking up at 90 Pershing Dr. Collect your order at the counter and show valid government-issued photo ID. The delivery page lists the towns we schedule delivery to.
Which Route 8 exit leads to the store?
Exit 13A is the current Route 8 exit for the store, and the ramp is signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. It is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so look for 13A while heading north. Older maps may show exit 16, the number before mileage based renumbering.
How long is the drive to the store?
From the center of town the drive takes about 33 minutes without traffic. The route covers about 22.5 miles by road on Routes 10, 68 and 70, and the estimate assumes free flow, so leave extra time when roads are busy.
How do I pay at the store?
The counter takes cash and debit cards, and credit cards cannot be used. After the drive, an on-site ATM is there if you need cash. Plan on one of those two ways to pay whether you shop at the counter or collect an order you placed ahead.
Is there parking at the store?
Yes, we have free on-site parking. The Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 that the store has 90 parking spaces, so you can park, walk in with your ID and collect an order you placed from home or from your phone.
Who can shop at Hi! People?
Adults 21 and older can shop here, since this is an adult-use cannabis store. DCP says an adult 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID may buy from licensed adult-use retailers, so bring yours to the counter even for an order you placed ahead.
