The drive into downtown
Say it is Sunday afternoon, you are on Main Street with a couple of errands left, and you want to stop in before we close. We keep Sunday hours of 10 AM to 6 PM, so there is time. The route runs on I-84 and US Route 6 and ends downtown, on Market Street.
If parking is your question, we have free on-site parking at the store, and the store has CT Transit bus access for anyone coming over without a car.
That 11-minute figure assumes clear roads and starts from the center of town. Our store page has the rest of the details for the visit.
Order online, pick up at our counter
Add what you want on our online shop and pick it up at our counter downtown. If you would rather have it brought to you, checkout shows whether delivery is available for your address. If it is, only the adult who placed the order, 21 or older with matching ID, can accept it under Connecticut law, and we take payment at the door in cash or debit card.
If you split your week between your town and a neighboring one, our pages for shoppers in South Windsor, shoppers in Glastonbury and shoppers in Wethersfield give the drive downtown from each of those towns. Our delivery page lists every town our downtown store serves.
Why our store sits where I-84 meets I-91
Our founder chose 306 Market St for its visibility at the I-84 and I-91 intersection.
On the shelf, we prioritize products from licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors. On our flower aisle, the product list shows live items from the menu of the store you have selected, so pick our downtown store there before you leave home. Derby and this downtown store are our two open stores.
Starting from your side of town
Your town covers 18.0 square miles of land, so your drive can run longer or shorter than the figures above depending on where you start. Coming from the Huguenot House on Burnside Avenue, which dates to 1761, or after a round at the public golf course on Long Hill Street, put our address into your maps app for the exact trip.
