The drive from Middletown to Hi! People Hartford, step by step
- Put 306 Market St, Hartford, CT 06120 into your maps app. That is the store address we list.
- Before you leave, open the live menu for this store, fill the cart and check out for pickup.
- Drive the mapped route, which runs on Route 17 and I-91 and measures about 18.4 miles from the town center.
- Budget about 26 minutes without traffic, going by that same mapped route. Traffic, or a start point well away from the town center, changes the number, and the drive from Cromwell has its own figures if you are setting out from there.
- Use our free on-site parking, then head inside to the counter to collect the order.
Look for the store near where I-91 meets I-84 downtown. The Hartford Business Journal reported in March 2025 that our founder chose 306 Market St for its visibility at the I-84 and I-91 intersection.
How to order ahead and pick up at 306 Market St
Order from the live menu for this store rather than the Derby menu, since this is the store you are driving to.
Prices, potency and what is in stock are on the live menu. If you want to browse by product type first, start from our shop pages. Current offers are on the deals page.
We prioritize products from licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors, which is worth knowing if you like to buy from in-state producers. Ask at the counter which ones are on the shelf when you collect.

Setting out from Wadsworth Mansion or the Buttonwood Tree
