Multi-state cannabis company Verano Holdings Corp. just announced its Zen Leaf Waterbury dispensary in Connecticut has received all required approvals from municipal and state officials to commence adult use sales. Zen Leaf Waterbury, located at 237 East Aurora Street, is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for medical patients and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for adult use guests.

Following a ceremonial ribbon cutting with representatives of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, October 25th, guests visiting Zen Leaf Waterbury throughout the grand opening celebration weekend will be greeted by complimentary coffee and donuts, a food truck serving Connecticut’s famous Ted’s steamed cheeseburgers, a live glassblowing demonstration and discounted specials on CTPharma products, according to Verano.

Additionally, Zen Leaf Waterbury will offer exciting promotions available every day across all Connecticut Zen Leaf locations, including the state’s leading 22% off discount for Veterans, 20% off “Medical Monday” discounts for medical patients and up to 20% off the first three orders after downloading the Zen Leaf mobile app, according to Verano.

Special Features at Zen Leaf

Zen Leaf Waterbury will also offer an array of enhanced features and conveniences for cannabis consumers, including digital kiosks for convenient ordering, an additional 95 parking spaces and access to the Company’s Cabbage Club membership program to redeem the full range of exclusive membership discounts and benefits, according to Verano.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to welcome adult use cannabis customers at Zen Leaf alongside our valued medical patients as we plant deeper roots in the Waterbury community,” said George Archos, Verano founder and CEO, in a statement. “We’re excited to offer our wide variety of award-winning products, exceptional hospitality, and additional conveniences for adult use customers and our valued medical patient community, and we look forward to welcoming Waterbury area guests at Zen Leaf for years to come.”

Verano will also continue its engagement and sponsorship of local community organizations across Connecticut, contributing more than $61,000 year-to-date for important causes statewide, according to the company.

Verano has also contributed $5,000 towards local youth life-skills training through the Waterbury Opportunities Industrialization Center.
