The Department of Consumer Protection keeps a municipal cannabis zoning chart built from the changes towns report to DCP, and that chart lists the town as having a moratorium on cannabis establishments. Shopping with us means the drive over or a scheduled delivery.
Getting from town to our door
The town's transportation plan says CTtransit provides bus service within the town through the New Haven Division. Route 261 is known as the Boston Post Road route and connects downtown New Haven to the CT Post Mall in Milford, passing through town. Route 262 provides limited-stop service, with stops off Marsh Hill Road. Route 255 connects downtown New Haven to Seymour, passing through town. The same plan says currently there are no sidewalks along Route 1.
Our store is a drive, and parking is free and on site. The Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 that the store has about 3,000 square feet and 90 parking spaces. Neighboring towns have their own guides: West Haven, Milford and Ansonia.

Questions about shopping with us from town
Does Hi! People deliver to my address?
Yes, the town is on the delivery list for our Derby store, and checkout confirms each address. Delivery is scheduled rather than on demand, you choose a slot at checkout, and you pay at the door in cash or by debit card. Nobody else can accept it, because the adult who placed the order must be 21 or older with matching ID.
How long is the drive to the store?
Measured from the center of town, it is about 13 minutes without traffic for a trip of about 6.2 miles by road. Traffic can stretch that, so place the order on the live menu first, then collect it at the counter with your ID. The store is at 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418.
Is there bus service in town?
The town's transportation plan describes CTtransit routes through Orange that reach the CT Post Mall in Milford and Seymour. Check CTtransit's route pages for stops before you rely on a bus for this trip. Parking is free on site, and the plan notes there are currently no sidewalks along Route 1.
What should I bring to the counter?
Pack a valid government-issued photo ID showing you are 21 or older, along with cash or a debit card for the Pershing Drive counter. Credit cards are not accepted, and the store has an on-site ATM if you need cash. According to DCP, a licensed adult-use retailer may sell to any adult 21 or older who shows a valid government-issued photo ID.
Is the planned New Haven store any closer?
No, by road it is farther. Our planned New Haven store at 1041 State St is about 8.8 miles from the center of town, compared with about 6.2 miles to our store. It is coming soon, and the New Haven page has a signup for opening news.
Can I look at products in person before I buy?
Yes, the showroom has a Bud Bar toward the back, and walking up to it takes no appointment. The Hartford Business Journal reported in March 2025 that products at the Bud Bar stay in plastic containers and go into locked storage every night, and it called the Bud Bar the first in Connecticut.
More answers are on the Hi! People FAQ, and our locations page shows both stores.
