Lantern Expands Cannabis Delivery in Massachusetts to the South Shore

BOSTON, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lantern, the leading on-demand cannabis e-commerce marketplace and home delivery platform in the U.S., announced plans to expand its delivery zone to Massachusetts' South Shore in partnership with economic empowerment retail and delivery licensee South Shore Buds, and adult-use retail dispensary Health Circle. Customers over the age of 21 living in South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy, Brockton, Marshfield, Abington, Rockland, Kingston, and Plymouth are now able to order delivery of their favorite cannabis products through the Lantern marketplace.

Lantern launched in May 2020 as Massachusetts' first medical delivery platform and last summer became the first adult-use delivery marketplace to serve the Greater Boston area. Lantern initially partnered with South Shore Buds' delivery subsidiary, Bud Bus, last fall to deliver cannabis products from a North Shore dispensary to Boston residents. Now, South Shore residents can place on-demand delivery orders from South Shore Buds and Health Circle products including flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates and more. Flexible delivery times are offered, including same-day delivery on most products.

"Lantern's latest expansion is driven by our underlying mission to provide exceptional cannabis experiences in our local communities by working with reliable business partners who share a common goal of making cannabis retail more transparent and accessible," said Meredith Mahoney, Co-founder and CEO of Lantern. "We are proud to work with South Shore Buds and Health Circle as retail and delivery partners and have been impressed by how dependable, organized, and responsive the teams have been during the ongoing pandemic. We are excited to bring this diverse product selection to South Shore residents in the comfort of their homes."

"Lantern's commitment to supporting local businesses is evident in every part of its operations and we are proud to continue working with Lantern in an even greater capacity," said Ben Virga, one of the founders of South Shore Buds and Bud Bus. "At South Shore Buds and Bud Bus, we take customer safety seriously and our staff tests every product we carry to ensure our customers are getting what they want when placing an order. As COVID-19 remains a public health risk, we are committed to protecting the well-being of our community by providing essential delivery services. Through our partnership with Lantern, we look forward to serving a wider range of customers and offering unprecedented convenience and accessibility."

Consumers can shop today from South Shore Buds, with weekend service from Health Circle launching February 17.
