Fine Fettle is opening up a new, 5,200-square-foot medical cannabis dispensary in Stamford, the company’s third in the state.
Fine Fettle’s new location at 12 Research Drive, is set to open Monday, Feb. 21. The dispensary will be Fine Fettle’s first in Fairfield County, with the other two located in Newington and Willimantic.
According to company officials, the new dispensary has a “state-of-the-art” security system with full camera coverage. It will be managed locally by pharmacists.
Fine Fettle said it was originally awarded a license by the state Department of Consumer Protection for a new dispensary in Storrs, but it requested to change the location to Stamford.
Fine Fettle CEO Richard Carbray noted his company now owns three of the state’s 18 licensed medical marijuana dispensaries.
“We always felt that Fairfield County was an underserved population for the medical marijuana community. To open here and bring our brand and customer service is a huge step for us,” Carbray said in a statement.
Fine Fettle was founded in Connecticut but has since spread to other states, including cultivation, processing and retail businesses in Massachusetts and a processing facility in Rhode Island. Fine Fettle also has acquired a license to operate in Georgia.
As Connecticut shifts to adult-use recreational cannabis sales, Fine Fettle has shifted, too. Late last year the company received approvals from Newington and Windham planning and zoning commissions to convert their two existing dispensaries into a hybrid model, offering both medical and recreational cannabis sales.
