Operated by the nonprofit Housing Works, New York City's first legal recreational dispensary will replace a shuttered Gap store in the East Village on December 29.
The store’s buildout is still only partially completed, according to Charles King, CEO of Housing Works. But the dispensary will make its first sales days before the end of the year, allowing Hochul to fulfill her promise of getting the legal industry up and running before 2023.
Some additional retail license holders are on track to get brick-and-mortar shops up and running in January, said Trivette Knowles, a spokesperson for the state Office of Cannabis Management. He added that others will likely take advantage of the option to set up legal cannabis delivery services ahead of opening official storefronts.
