Parking and the Bud Bar
When you pull in at our store on Pershing Drive, we have free on-site parking. The Valley Independent Sentinel reported on January 20, 2025 that the store is about 3,000 square feet with 90 parking spaces.
Inside, the Bud Bar is a dedicated consultation area where you sit down one on one with a budtender and see products before you choose. The Hartford Business Journal reported on March 27, 2025 that our Derby store opened the state's first bud bar where customers can examine and smell products. If you have questions about a product, that conversation is the reason to make the drive instead of ordering delivery.
On the shelves, we prioritize products from licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors.
Pickup or delivery to a Monroe address
For pickup, order ahead on our online shop and the order waits at our counter. See current offers on our deals page.
Our delivery page lists the town among those served by our store. The store takes scheduled delivery orders, not ASAP orders, so you pick a delivery slot at checkout. Checkout also shows the order minimum and fee for your address.
We are fully licensed by the DCP, and all of our delivery drivers are licensed employees. Payment at the door is cash or debit card. Only the adult who placed the order, 21 or older with matching ID, can accept it.
Other nearby towns are on that delivery list too. Trumbull has its own page, as do Shelton and Newtown.
