Which cannabis store serves Oxford, CT?
Hi! People Derby, at 90 Pershing Dr, Derby, CT 06418, is the cannabis store we run for shoppers from town, about 26 minutes from the center without traffic. DCP's list showed no cannabis store in Oxford on November 11, 2026. Order ahead for pickup and bring valid government-issued photo ID to the counter.
From farms to an incorporated town
The town's own history page puts it plainly: "Originally part of Derby, Oxford was first settled as a collection of farms." It was incorporated by the General Assembly in 1798. The page also says residents from the district traveled about nine miles each Sunday to the Derby Meeting House.
The same page says a number of mills, including a sawmill, grist mill and paper mill, were located at the site of what is now Southford Falls on Route 188. That road is one of the two on the drive we list to our store.
Quarry Walk, Jackson Cove Park and Lake Zoar
This Naugatuck Valley town covers 32.7 square miles of land and had an estimated 13,264 residents in 2024.
Quarry Walk is a village-style shopping and dining community with buildings accented in stone from its own site, and CTvisit says a walking trail surrounds it. Jackson Cove Park, at 40 Jackson Cove Park Road, sits on Lake Zoar and offers a quiet beach with a large pavilion and 27 acres of woodland trails.
The trip to the store, in four steps
- Order before you leave. Online ordering takes orders at any hour, so you can build a pickup order on our live menu whenever it suits you. The flower aisle shows live items from the store you have selected.
- Put the address in your maps app. Exit 13A is the highway ramp signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. It is a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, so a driver heading south on that highway needs another way in.
- Park in our lot. Parking is free and on site.
- Go to the counter. Collect a pickup order there, and a host with an iPad can help if you have not ordered yet.
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. Our store page has the details, and our locations page lists both stores.
Practical questions about the trip
Does Hi! People deliver to Oxford?
No. This town does not appear among the 14 towns on our store's delivery list, so pickup is how to shop with us from here. Build the order on the live menu, drive to 90 Pershing Dr, and collect it at the counter with your ID.
How long is the drive to the store?
The store is about 11.6 miles by road from the center of town. The drive takes about 26 minutes without traffic, on Routes 188 and 334. That figure is measured from the town center. The estimate assumes free flow, so add time if the roads are busy when you set out.
Is there a Route 8 ramp for the store?
Yes. Exit 13A is the current Route 8 number for the store, and the ramp is signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. Connecticut DOT began mileage based exit number signs on Route 8 on July 8, 2024, so an older map may still list the old number, exit 16.
Does the store take credit cards?
No. Credit cards cannot be used, but we accept cash and debit cards, and the store has an on-site ATM if you need cash. It helps to settle how you will pay before the drive, since the same two options apply at the counter.
Where do I park?
Park in our own lot. Drivers coming in on Routes 188 and 334 can use our free on-site lot, which the Valley Independent Sentinel reported in January 2025 has 90 parking spaces. Pickup orders are collected at the counter, so there is no need to hunt for street parking.
Who can shop at Hi! People?
Adults 21 and older are who we serve, because ours is 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 a valid government-issued photo ID whether you order ahead or browse in person.
