Which cannabis store serves Fairfield, CT?
Hi! People Derby, at 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418, is the cannabis store we run for shoppers from town, about 28 minutes from the center without traffic. DCP's list showed no cannabis store in Fairfield on November 11, 2026. Place a pickup order ahead, then bring valid government-issued photo ID to our counter.
The drive north, from the shore to the exit
The drive we list takes Route 58 to Route 15, stays on it until it meets Route 8, then heads north to exit 13A. That ramp is signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia and sits close to the store. Exit 13A is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so the trip home puts you back on the highway heading south at the same interchange.
Older maps may still show exit 16, the number Pershing Drive carried before mileage based renumbering. Connecticut DOT began that renumbering on this highway on July 8, 2024, according to its renumbering advisory. Our lot is free, and the Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 that it has 90 parking spaces. Our highway guide covers the whole corridor.
Shoreline, old town center and a few places people steer by
The town's own site says the town features five miles of shoreline on the Long Island Sound. Jennings Beach on South Benson Road is a large sandy beach with views of Long Island Sound and an access pier. The town had about 65,300 residents in 2024 by the Census Bureau's estimate, on 29.9 square miles of land, and English colonists established it in 1639.
The town's directions page for Town Hall and Independence Hall lists 611/725 Old Post Road (corner of Beach Road). The Fairfield Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 1971, and the town says the area contains its town hall, public library and houses dating from the late 18th century.
The Fairfield Museum and History Center, at 370 Beach Road, includes the Sun Tavern from about 1780 and a Victorian Barn from 1888. Birdcraft Museum at 314 Unquowa Road is a National Historic Landmark from 1914 beside a 6-acre sanctuary (CT Visit listing). The Lake Mohegan open space at 960 Morehouse Highway covers about 170 acres in the Mill River watershed (town open space page).
Bring a shortlist to the Bud Bar
Browse the flower aisle at home and note the listings that interest you. When we choose products to stock, we prioritize licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors. The Hartford Business Journal reported in March 2025 that our store opened the state's first bud bar where customers can examine and smell products. It is toward the back of the showroom and needs no appointment, so bring your list and ask to see and smell what is on it before you buy.
Placing the pickup order
Our online ordering takes orders at any hour, so the order can be put together the night before. Open the full shop, choose in-store pickup, and collect it at the counter with your ID. Our Derby store holds state adult-use retailer license ACRE.0015686. For a question before you set out, call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837). Our locations page lists both stores.
Questions to settle before you take the road to Derby
Does Hi! People deliver to Fairfield?
No. Derby's delivery list names 14 towns, and this town is not one of them, so pickup at 90 Pershing Dr is how to shop with us from here. Place the order on the live menu, then pick it up at our counter.
Where do I leave Route 8 for the store?
Take exit 13A, the ramp signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. It is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so it works for drivers heading north. If an older map shows exit 16, that was the number before mileage based renumbering, and 13A is the one to follow.
Can I pay by card at the store?
Debit yes, credit no. The counter accepts cash and debit cards, and credit cards cannot be used. An on-site ATM covers you if you need cash before you pay. The store is at 90 Pershing Dr, and parking there is free and on site.
Is parking free at the store?
Yes, we have free on-site parking, so you pay nothing to leave the car in our lot. The Valley Independent Sentinel reported 90 parking spaces on the lot in January 2025. Park, walk in with your ID, and pick up the order you placed ahead from your phone or computer.
Do I need an appointment for the Bud Bar?
No. No appointment is needed to use the Bud Bar, which is toward the back of the showroom. Bring the listings you marked at home and ask to see and smell them before you buy, as the Hartford Business Journal described it in March 2025.
Who can shop at Hi! People?
Shopping with us is limited to adults 21 and older, because we run 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 your ID to the counter even when you order ahead.
