TORRINGTON, Conn., June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Higher Collective, a pioneering cannabis retail brand committed to social equity, is excited to announce the grand opening of its fifth location in Torrington, Connecticut. The new adult-use cannabis retail store, commonly referred to in most states as a "dispensary," will be situated at 53 McDermott Ave, Torrington, CT 06790. The store will officially open its doors to customers at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 8, 2024, with a special grand opening celebration from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. that day.

The store features over 3,000 square feet of retail space with designated areas for pick-up, education and product discovery of the state's finest products from producers like Advanced Grow Labs, CTPharma, Curaleaf, Rodeo Cannabis and Theraplant, and more.
