Another Cannabis Retail Store Opens In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Local leaders and cannabis aficionados officially welcomed a regional cannabis retail chain to West Hartford recently.

Sweetspot Farms, a 'craft cannabis' company with dispensaries and cultivation operations throughout the eastern seaboard, announced last week the grand opening of its 2 Park Road location in West Hartford.

The company hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 17 that featured free food, giveaways, and grand opening discounts.

West Hartford Mayor Shari Cantor, even, in attendance.

"We are pleased to welcome Sweetspot, West Hartford's second adult-use cannabis retail store to town," Cantor said in a statement.

"Located within our vibrant Park Road neighborhood, residents and visitors will have expanded access to safe, regulated cannabis products in a welcoming and professional environment. We appreciate Sweetspot's choice to open in West Hartford and look forward to them engaging with our community in the years ahead."

West Hartford's first legal cannabis retailer — BUDR Cannabis — opened last summer on Boulevard.

The operation is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and it is on the corner of Park Road and Prospect Avenue.

It serves both medical patients and recreational consumers, with dedicated inventory and pricing for medical patients, according to Sweetspot.

Company officials said the new West Hartford location is staffed by experienced and educated "budtenders."

"Connecticut is an exciting market," said Jason Webski, Sweetspot's co-founder, chief executive officer, and a Connecticut-born native. "We need to get the word out in Connecticut. Cannabis is legal and it's here.

"Sweetspot focuses on milder products and a very personalized experience. We are the store for people who are interested in adding cannabis to their daily routine, but are new to the product."
