Looks like they sped out of the starting blocks too fast!
ENFIELD — The town’s first cannabis dispensary opened this past weekend, only to abruptly close Monday after the operator was notified that the required permits had not yet been obtained.
The property at 9 Hazard Ave. — a former Starbucks — has been outfitted to be a hybrid cannabis dispensary, selling both recreational and medicinal products under the name Octane Cannabis, the company announced on social media Friday.
However, as of Monday, the company announced it was closing due to construction-related improvements, according to a sign on its door.
The sign said that a reopening date has yet to be determined.
While the operator of the facility, Hydra East LLC of Glastonbury, has permits approved for the dispensary, as well as a building permit, its zoning permit doesn’t become active until there is a certificate of occupancy, Enfield’s Director of Planning Lauren Whitten said.
