Where is the cannabis store for East Hartford CT?
Hi! People serves shoppers from town out of the city's Downtown neighborhood, with free on-site parking and CT Transit bus access. Pickup is how it works: choose pickup at checkout on the live menu, and collect the order at our counter. Payment is cash or debit card, and credit cards cannot be used.
From Main Street to Market Street
Start on I-84 and US Route 6 if you are driving. About 11 minutes without traffic is the free-flow figure from the center of town, so add time when the roads are busy.
The Connecticut Register and Manual says the town is served by buses of Connecticut Transit from Hartford, Manchester, Rockville, South Windsor, and Glastonbury. CTtransit's CTfastrak Route 121 weekday schedule lists a stop at Silver & Forbes and another at Church Corner, Connecticut Blvd & Main. That PDF prints "Bus Schedule Effective March 12, 2023", so it shows where Route 121 stops, not how often it runs today. Check with CTtransit before you plan a bus trip.
Town Hall is at 740 Main St., and the town was incorporated in October 1783. Its principal industries include the manufacture of precision parts and aircraft engines.
On the way: Rentschler Field and the Huguenot House
Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field is at 615 Silver Lane, and the venue's own site opens with a welcome to Rentschler Field. The Connecticut Office of Tourism listing for the stadium puts the Huguenot House and the town's historical society 1.07 miles away.
The Huguenot House is at 307 Burnside Ave. The 1761 Makens Bemont House depicts the home of a fairly prosperous late 18th and early 19th century workingman, and the 1850s Burnham Blacksmith Shop displays late 19th and early 20th century tools and equipment used in the area. Spend the morning there, then pick up your order on the way home.
Menu aisles to open on your phone
Before you head out, scroll the aisles: flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, drinks and concentrates. The live menu is where today's listings are, and the menu shows what the store lists today. Order ahead on our live menu, then collect it at the counter.
At the counter: cash, debit and ID
We take cash or debit card at our counter, not credit cards. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID that shows you are 21 or older.
Nearby towns have their own pages: Manchester, Wethersfield and Glastonbury. Our store page and locations page show both stores.
Questions shoppers from town ask
How long is the drive from the center of town?
About 11 minutes without traffic, over roughly 5.2 miles by road, via I-84 and US Route 6. That figure starts at the center of the town, so your own start point will change it. Open your map app on 306 Market St before you leave.
Does the store take credit cards?
No. We take cash or debit card at our counter, and credit cards do not work here. Place your order on the live menu ahead of time, then bring cash or a debit card when you pick it up. Questions about an order? Call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837).
Can I take the bus to pick up an order?
The store has CT Transit bus access, and the Route 121 stops at Silver & Forbes and Church Corner appear on a CTfastrak schedule printed as effective March 12, 2023. That date means current service is unconfirmed, so check CTtransit for today's schedule before you rely on it.
When can I place an order for pickup?
Opening times are on the store page. Online ordering takes orders at any hour, so you can place an order that morning or the night before. The drive is about 11 minutes without traffic from the center of town, and the store has free on-site parking. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID that shows you are 21 or older.
Is there parking at the store?
Yes. The store has free on-site parking, in the city's Downtown neighborhood. Pull in, bring your valid ID and your payment, and tell us your name at the counter so we can hand over the order you placed ahead on the live menu.
Which ID should I bring?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID that shows you are 21 or older; DCP says any adult 21 or older with one may buy from a licensed adult-use retailer. Show it at the counter when you collect an order placed ahead on the live menu. If you are not sure whether yours counts, call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837) before the drive.
