Is there a cannabis store in Shelton, CT?
Hi! People Derby is the cannabis store for this city, and it sits at 90 Pershing Dr in the next city over. DCP's list showed no cannabis store in Shelton on October 7, 2026, so pickup at our counter or scheduled delivery is how shoppers here order with us. Our store page has the full details.
Getting here by road, rail and bus
Our mapped route from the city center to our door uses Route 108. Drivers who end up on Route 8 northbound leave at exit 13A, signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. It is a northbound exit and southbound entrance, and the ramp is under a fifth of a mile from our door. Connecticut DOT began installing mileage-based exit number signs on Route 8 on July 8, 2024, so older directions may show it as exit 16, as the DOT's exit renumbering notice explains.
The Derby-Shelton station is at 1 Main Street in Derby, and it also serves adjacent Shelton. CTDOT's station page says a new platform will let up to four car trains open all doors at the station, and it lists the opening for November 2027. Separately, a CTDOT notice says substitute bus service will replace all train service from July 20, 2026, through May 31, 2027, and that all buses are accessible.
Places people use to give directions
The city's directions page says to take Route 8 South and get off exit 14 when coming from Waterbury or Seymour, or to take exit 27A off I-95 North and follow Route 8 North to exit 14.
The Belden Cultural Center at 54 Grove Street is a city building that houses Center Stage Theatre among its tenants. Veterans Memorial Park sits on Canal Street along the Housatonic River, and the city's park page says it was founded to honor the men and women who served in the military. Indian Well State Park, at 1 Indian Well Road, has a sandy beach, a waterfall and the only public boat launch on the river, according to the state park page.
The history center at 70 Ripton Rd has been collecting and sharing the community's history for over 50 years. The original colonial settlement was first known as Huntington, and its green was laid out in 1717. The city is located on the Housatonic River. It was split off from Stratford in 1789, as Huntington, and it had an estimated 42,805 residents in 2024 on 30.6 square miles of land.
Aisles on the menu
Our online ordering takes orders at any hour, and the shop is split into aisles. Each aisle page lists live items from the menu of the store you have selected: flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, drinks and concentrates. Prefer to talk it through first? Call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837), or open the full shop and start a pickup order.
Payment, ID and delivery
At our counter you pay with cash or a debit card, and credit cards cannot be used. The store has an on-site ATM, and parking is free and on site. Have valid government-issued photo ID ready, since this is an adult-use cannabis store for adults 21 and older.
Derby schedules delivery to addresses in Shelton; checkout confirms each address. Our delivery runs on a schedule rather than on demand, and the delivery page explains how it works. Shoppers in Trumbull, Monroe and Ansonia can order the same way, and our locations page lists every store.
Questions shoppers ask before ordering
How far is the store from the center of the city?
The store is about 5.8 miles by road, and the drive takes about 13 minutes without traffic via Route 108. Traffic on a busy afternoon adds time. Parking is free and on site once you arrive, and your maps app will show the right way in from where you start.
Which Route 8 exit leads to Pershing Drive?
Exit 13A, signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia, leads to the store, and older directions may show it as exit 16. It is a northbound exit and southbound entrance, and the ramp is under a fifth of a mile from our door. If a map shows another number, follow the signs for Pershing Drive.
Do you deliver to my address?
Yes, we schedule delivery to covered addresses, and checkout confirms each one. Our delivery runs on a schedule rather than on demand, so you choose a slot at checkout. Payment at the door is cash or debit card, and our FAQ page has more general answers about ordering.
Can I take the train toward the store right now?
CTDOT says substitute bus service will replace all train service from July 20, 2026, through May 31, 2027, so plan on a car or a bus for now. Check the CTDOT notice for the bus schedule before you rely on a substitute bus. Delivery to a covered address is the other way to shop with us.
How do I pay at the store?
Cash and debit are the two ways to pay, and credit cards cannot be used. If you arrive without cash, the store has an on-site ATM. A valid government-issued photo ID matters too, because ours is an adult-use cannabis store for adults 21 and older. Delivery payment at the door is also cash or debit card, so the same rule holds for either order.
Who can accept a delivery?
Only the adult who placed the order, 21 or older with matching ID, can accept it under Connecticut law. Have the ID ready when the driver arrives. Orders are scheduled ahead, and payment at the door is cash or debit card, so plan on carrying one of those.
