If you are looking for a Tazewell County dispensary, the short answer is 359 Court Street in downtown Pekin. That is Pekin’s Local Dispensary & Supply — the county seat’s own adult-use shop, open seven days a week to anyone 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID. No medical card required, no membership fee, no corporate script. Just a counter, a real menu, and people from around here standing behind it.

Tazewell County covers about 646 square miles and roughly 130,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So “close to home” around here can still mean a 25-minute drive. Below are seven things worth knowing before you point the car toward Court Street.

1. Where the Tazewell County dispensary actually is

We are at 359 Court St, Pekin, IL 61554 — downtown, on the courthouse side of the street, in the middle of a block instead of out by a highway interchange. If you have ever paid a ticket, renewed a plate, or eaten lunch on the square, you have already driven past our door.

Court Street is the main east-west run through Pekin, which is the part that matters if you are coming from somewhere else in the county. From the north you drop down Illinois Route 29 along the river. From the east you come in on Illinois Route 9. From the south you get off I-155 and cut back into town. All three roads funnel onto Court.

Phone is (309) 444-6108 if you would rather ask a person than read a website.

2. Every Tazewell County town we serve, and how far it really is

Pekin is the county seat, and it sits far enough south that drive times spread out across the county. Rough numbers, no traffic:

• Pekin — you are already here.
• North Pekin and Marquette Heights — about 10 minutes up Route 29.
• South Pekin — about 12 minutes.
• Creve Coeur — about 12 minutes north.
• Groveland — about 15 minutes.
• East Peoria — about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Tremont — about 18 minutes east on Route 9.
• Morton — about 20 minutes.
• Green Valley — about 20 minutes south.
• Washington — about 25 minutes.
• Delavan — about 25 minutes down I-155.
• Mackinaw, Minier and Hopedale — roughly 28 to 32 minutes.

If your town is not on that list, check areas we serve — we have mapped the drive from a good chunk of the Peoria metro as well.

3. Our hours, and the quiet times to come

We are open every day. No Sunday closure, no odd hours to guess at.

Day	Hours
Sunday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Monday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Tuesday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Wednesday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Thursday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Friday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Saturday	10:00 AM – 9:00 PM

If you are driving in from Delavan or Mackinaw and you want the counter to yourself, aim for a weekday mid-morning or the stretch right after lunch. Friday late afternoon is our busiest window, and the 4 to 6 PM block Wednesday through Sunday is a double-points happy hour, which is exactly why it fills up. Holiday hours can shift, so call ahead on those.

4. What to bring to a Tazewell County dispensary

One thing: a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID showing you are 21 or older. A driver’s license, a state ID, a passport, or a military ID all work. We check it at the door and again at the register, every single visit, no matter how well we know you. That is how a license stays a license.

Out-of-state visitors are welcome. You do not need to be an Illinois resident and you do not need a medical card, though Illinois does set different per-visit purchase limits for residents and non-residents. We break those down in our guides to Illinois dispensary purchase limits and what ID you need, and the official version lives on the consumer page from IDFPR.

Cash is easiest. Ask at the counter about the other options — they change as banking rules do.

5. What is actually on the shelf

The live menu, with real prices and what is in stock this minute, is on our online menu. Broadly:

• Flower — grams through ounces, plus the mix-and-match bundles that move fastest here.
• Pre-rolls — singles, multi-packs, and infused.
• Edibles — gummies, chocolates, and low-dose drinks.
• Vapes — carts and all-in-ones.
• Concentrates — rosin, badder, and everything between.

Whatever is marked down this week sits on the deals page. You can also shop by flavor or by effect if you would rather start from what you actually want than from a strain name you have never heard.

6. Pekin’s Local Rewards, the reason to pick a lane

If you are going to drive past other options to get here, you ought to get something for it. That is the whole point of Pekin’s Local Rewards. It is free, and it works like this:

• Earn 8 points per $1 spent before tax, in store or online.
• Every 1,000 points is $5 off, redeemable in $5 steps up to $40 off at 8,000 points. A minimum purchase of double your reward applies — a $10 purchase for $5 off.
• Up to 1,000 bonus points to start — 500 the moment you join free, 500 more when you join the text list.
• Three tiers. Local earns 8 points per dollar, Marigold earns 10 once you hit 3,000 points, and Court Street earns 12 at 8,000. Redeeming never knocks you back a tier.
• Double points Wednesday through Sunday, 11 AM to 1 PM and 4 to 6 PM, plus all day Monday on flower and pre-rolls and all day Tuesday on extracts and edibles. One 2x at a time — they do not stack.
• Send a friend. Once they spend $50 on their first trip, you both get 1,000 points.

Rewards are dollars off retail purchases, never free cannabis. And if you are a veteran, a senior, or it happens to be your birthday, just ask at the counter.

7. Parking, the square, and getting in and out

Downtown Pekin still has the thing most suburban strips gave up: free street parking right out front, plus public lots a short walk away. On a normal weekday you will park within a few doors of us. During a busy courthouse morning, swing a block off Court and walk — downtown Pekin is small enough that “a block away” is thirty seconds.

That is the other argument for coming downtown. You are already next to the coffee, the lunch counters, and the hardware store. Make the trip do double duty.
