New Haven, Connecticut is now home to the state's first recreational cannabis dispensary, Affinity Health and Wellness. On Tuesday, the dispensary opened its doors and was quickly met with a line of eager customers. People who had been waiting for the opening of the dispensary since it was announced months ago had gathered outside, ready to make their purchases.
Affinity Health and Wellness is located on Whalley Avenue in New Haven and is the seventh dispensary to open in the state. The store has undergone several renovations prior to opening, including the addition of about 15 new employees and interior enhancements.
The store offers a wide range of products, including flower, pre-filled cartridges, edibles, concentrates, topicals, and tinctures. There are also a variety of accessories available for purchase, such as grinders and pipes. The dispensary also offers a loyalty program, which rewards customers with points for every purchase they make.
The store is owned and operated by Affinity Health and Wellness Group, which also owns and operates two other dispensaries in Connecticut: Fine Fettle in Stamford and The Botanist in Danbury. All three stores are licensed and regulated by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
Affinity Health and Wellness is committed to providing its customers with a high-quality experience. The store has a strict policy against the sale of products to minors and all customers are required to show a valid ID before they can purchase any products. Additionally, the store has implemented measures to ensure that products are packaged and stored safely to prevent tampering and contamination.
The store's opening has been met with enthusiasm from both customers and local businesses. Customers have praised the store's selection of products and its commitment to customer service. Meanwhile, local businesses have welcomed the influx of customers that the store has brought to the area.
The opening of Affinity Health and Wellness marks a major milestone for Connecticut's cannabis industry. The store is the first of its kind in the state and is expected to serve as a model for other recreational cannabis dispensaries in the future.
