Route 8 directions to 90 Pershing Drive, Derby
Stratford is a Greater Bridgeport Planning Region town of an estimated 53,610 residents in 2024, and from the town center the trip to our door is a drive along Route 8. The exit you want is 13A, signed for Pershing Drive and Ansonia. The ramps there are a northbound exit and a southbound entrance, and the exit 13A ramp is about 0.25 km from our door.
Older directions may still say exit 16, which was this exit's number before mileage based renumbering. Whatever number a note gives, follow the signs for Pershing Drive. Connecticut DOT began mileage based exit number signs on Route 8 on July 8, 2024, and its exit renumbering advisory covers the change.
Our store has 90 parking spaces and free on-site parking.
Check our store page before you set out, then open the live menu and order ahead.
Adult-use rules for pickup, delivery and the drive
Connecticut's adult-use cannabis rules apply to adults 21 and older, and that covers pickup at our counter and delivery to your door. We hold Connecticut adult-use retailer license ACRE.0015686 for the store. For delivery, only the adult who placed the order, 21 or older with matching ID, can accept it.
Because this trip is a drive, keep in mind the line Connecticut requires on cannabis package labels: it is illegal to operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence of cannabis.
Ordering ahead and sitting down at the Bud Bar
Order ahead online and it waits for you at the counter. Prices and stock change during the day, so we keep them on the menu rather than on this page, and the flower aisle is one place to start browsing. Our deals page lists current offers.
If you arrive without cash, the store has an on-site ATM.
Toward the back of the showroom is the Bud Bar, which needs no appointment. It is a dedicated consultation area where you sit down one on one with a budtender to view and smell cannabis strains before purchasing, and the Hartford Business Journal reported on March 27, 2025 that ours was the state's first bud bar.
Scheduled delivery to your door
Stratford is one of 14 towns our delivery page lists for the store, along with Shelton and Trumbull.
