Yonkers First Legal Marijuana Dispensary to Open May 9

The Plant to Open at 2595 Central Park Avenue

Westchester County is home to more than 1,000,000 residents, yet its adult population still has very limited access to tested cannabis products from licensed stores. That will soon change when The Plant officially opens in Yonkers on May 9, and become Yonkers first legal marijuana dispensary.

The locally owned and operated premium cannabis dispensary will provide Yonkers and Westchester residents with access to the highest quality cannabis brands and products New York has to offer in a comfortable environment designed for people to quickly pick up favorites or take the time to explore something new.

Located at 2595 Central Park Avenue, The Plant has crafted a shopping experience for cannabis experts, curious newcomers and everyone in between. Its knowledgeable staff is available to direct the canna-curious to specific products tailored to their needs and desired effects, while also making the shopping or pickup experience seamless for customers who already know what they’d like to purchase.  

“Opening The Plant is the culmination of a lifetime dream. The Plant is more than just a retail location, but a way to use cannabis to bring together people, culture, and community,” said Anthony Bannister, CEO and co-owner of The Plant. “Our neighbors can look to The Plant not just for high-quality, tested cannabis products, but for a forum to learn more about cannabis and explore the multitude of benefits it can have on individuals and society.” 

The Plant will celebrate its official opening with a ribbon cutting at 3:30pm on May 9. It will include remarks from Yonker’s Mayor Mike Spano.
