Grand Opening of Higher Collective's New Cannabis Store in Hamden

Higher Collective is excited to unveil its newest cannabis retail location in Hamden, Connecticut. Located at 3825 Whitney Ave, this store symbolizes a significant advancement for the brand as it continues to establish its presence in the cannabis market. With the opening of this seventh store within just over a year, Higher Collective is solidifying its standing as one of the largest cannabis retail chains in Connecticut.

This location is co-owned and operated by Jose Perez, who brings a unique perspective and a wealth of experience derived from both his career in education and his personal journey through the cannabis industry. Jose Perez, a resident of Hartford, has spent nine years in the school system, combined with a background in small business management. His connection to the pain caused by outdated drug policies is personal; he faced arrest for marijuana possession at 18, which fuels his passion for advocating social equity in the cannabis sector.

“Growing up in a neighborhood that bore the brunt of outdated drug policies, I saw how cannabis criminalization disrupted lives and families,” says Perez. “When Connecticut prioritized social equity in the cannabis industry, I knew it was an opportunity to not only rewrite my own story but to uplift others.”

A Celebration for the Community

The grand opening event is set for Saturday, November 23, from 12 PM to 4 PM, and promises to be an exciting community focused celebration. The festivities will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, officially marking the store’s launch. Attendees can enjoy a special 20% discount on their first purchases, along with an ongoing offer that allows them to save an additional 20% on future purchases until they accumulate a savings of $1,000.

The event will also feature local vendors, community partners, and various cannabis brands. Food lovers will be pleased to know that The Wright Way Burgers BBQ will be providing delicious offerings throughout the day. To make the experience even better, the first 100 customers in attendance will receive exclusive gift bags, making this celebration truly special.
