Addresses in town are on our delivery list too, if you would rather have the order come to you.
The city's one licensed cannabis retailer is ours
The Valley Independent Sentinel reported in 2024 that Derby planning and zoning limited the city to one cannabis retailer, and that retailer is us.
Our store holds Connecticut adult-use cannabis retailer license ACRE.0015686. Both of our open stores, here and in Hartford, are on our store locations page.
Coming in on Route 8, or from a nearby town
If your trip brings you up Route 8 northbound, take the exit signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. It lets you off a few hundred yards from our door at 90 Pershing Drive, and there is a southbound entrance at the same spot for the ride home.
If you are starting from Orange, Shelton or Stratford instead, the Orange drive guide, the Shelton drive guide and the Stratford drive guide cover those trips.
What waits at the far end of the trip
The Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 that the store is about 3,000 square feet with 90 parking spaces. Parking is free and on site.
The Bud Bar is toward the back of the showroom and needs no appointment. It was added after our January 2025 opening, once the state Department of Consumer Protection approved it, and the Hartford Business Journal covered it that March as Connecticut's first bud bar.
We prioritize products from licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors, and you can look through the Hi! People shop before you order. Current offers live on the deals page rather than on this one.
For your map app, the full address is 90 Pershing Drive, Derby, CT 06418. If you want to ask about an item before you go, call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837). More about the store is on our store page.
Delivery to your door
Our delivery page lists Milford as a delivery town served by our store. The live menu takes scheduled delivery orders rather than on-demand ones.
Our delivery drivers are licensed employees, and you pay at the door in cash or by debit card. Connecticut law lets only the adult who placed the order accept it, and that person must be 21 or older with matching ID.
Questions shoppers ask about the drive
Do I need cash at the store?
No, a debit card works too: we accept cash and debit cards, and credit cards cannot be used. The store has an on-site ATM if you arrive without cash.
Can I order before I leave home?
Yes, online ordering is open 24/7, so you can place a pickup order on the live menu before you get in the car.
Is the planned New Haven store closer?
No, by road it is a little farther: our planned New Haven store at 1041 State St is about 11.9 miles by road from the center of town, against about 11.4 miles to our store. It is coming soon, and you can sign up for New Haven opening news on our New Haven page.
