GLOUCESTER, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Massachusetts’ most innovative and customer-focused cannabis dispensary is set to launch on Thursday, July 16, when Happy Valley opens its new medical and recreational retail location in Gloucester.

“We founded Happy Valley with a mission statement to create consistent, premium-quality cannabis products and then provide access to those products in a modern retail environment dedicated to educating our customers so they select the optimal products and consumption methods for their desired experience,” said company CEO Michael Reardon.

The cannabis retail store is located at 38 Great Republic Drive in Gloucester, with ample free parking.

Happy Valley’s in-store experience features fast check-in and express pick-up lines, educational touch-screens, and expertly educated hosts with a focus on customer service.
