What to Expect at Our Pekin Dispensary Grand Opening
The Grand Opening Celebration runs from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, June 27, kicking off with a Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting. Expect a full day of free, neighborly fun alongside the shopping.
Here is the schedule for the day:

| 10:00 AM | Chamber ribbon cutting, coffee & donuts, doors open |
| 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Vendor education popup: Green Growth Group |
| 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Vendor education popups: Cresco & Verano |
| 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM | Live music — Emilele on Ukulele |
| 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Vendor education popup: The Botanist |
| Late afternoon | Merch drop & happy hour snacks |
| 8:00 PM | Store closes — celebration wraps |
Throughout the day you can count on a clean, welcoming store, knowledgeable staff, branded merchandise, and non-cannabis giveaways while supplies last. It is the kind of low-key, friendly party a new neighbor should throw.
25% Off the Menu Before June 27
Want a head start on the celebration? Leading up to the grand opening, adults 21 and older get 25% off the menu at our Pekin dispensary for a limited time. It is our way of saying hello and thank you to the community that has been asking when we would open.
Deals like this move quickly, so it is worth checking our current Pekin dispensary deals before you head in. Selection can vary day to day, and the early-visit discount only runs until the event.
A Community-First Dispensary in Tazewell County
From day one, the goal has been simple: be a good neighbor. Our Pekin dispensary partners with local vendors, supports community events, and wants every visit to feel approachable rather than intimidating.
“Our team is excited to welcome Pekin into the store and introduce a dispensary experience that feels approachable, professional, and local,” said Sean Alber, General Manager of Pekin’s Local Dispensary & Supply. “We want every guest to feel comfortable asking questions, learning the process, and getting the kind of service that brings them back.”
That neighborly approach is bigger than one store. The same cannabis consulting team behind the build-out helps operators open and run dispensaries around the country, and we are proud to bring that experience home to Central Illinois.
What First-Time Visitors Should Know
New to all of this? You are in good company, and our staff helps first-timers every single day. A few quick pointers will make your first trip to our Pekin dispensary smooth and stress-free.
- You must be 21+: Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. Everyone gets checked at the door — no exceptions.
- Adult-use is legal in Illinois: Recreational cannabis has been legal for adults statewide since 2020 under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
- Know the limits and payment: Review the Illinois purchase limits and how to pay before you arrive.
- Not sure what to get? Our guide to product types is a great primer, or just ask a budtender.
If you want the deeper background on what Illinois law allows for shoppers, our colleagues break down the state’s adult-use cannabis rules in plain English. And the ribbon cutting is hosted with the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, a reminder that this is a local small business opening its doors.
