High Profile Stratford, the town’s second recreational cannabis dispensary, officially opened its doors today at 130 Honeyspot Road. The retailer is operated by Michigan‑based C3 Industries, which now runs over two dozen dispensaries across the Midwest and Northeast.
The dispensary is housed in a newly restored, century-old building that formerly served as Johnny’s Restaurant. Situated just off Interstate 95, the location offers easy access for patrons.
Operating Hours and Product Selection
High Profile Stratford welcomes customers aged 21 and older daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with options for both in‑store shopping and online pre‑ordering. The establishment offers a diverse array of cannabis products—including flower, pre‑rolled joints, edibles, vape cartridges, and concentrates.
Promotions and Customer Incentives
Special pricing is currently available: new customers receive $10 off their first two visits, and additional discounts apply to veterans, seniors over 55, and cannabis industry workers.
Historic Restoration and Community Context
C3 Industries’ President, Vishal Rungta, emphasized the significance of preserving the site’s legacy: “We’re particularly thrilled to be a part of the restoration, breathing new life into the building for local residents”. CEO Ankur Rungta added that the team is excited to offer Stratford a convenient, loyalty-reward–driven destination for premium cannabis.
Regulatory Approval and Local Settlement
Approved by the Stratford Zoning Commission in 2023, the project faced a legal challenge from nearby St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church. The issue was resolved when C3 agreed to pay $140,000 toward local charitable causes and install fencing as a buffer, prompting the church to withdraw its lawsuit in mid‑2024.
Dispensary Landscape in Stratford
High Profile Stratford joins Budr Cannabis, which launched the town’s first recreational dispensary at Oronoque Plaza on Main Street in August 2024.
Summary:
A historic Stratford building has been revitalized as High Profile Stratford, C3 Industries’ new cannabis dispensary. The facility preserves local heritage, offers a full suite of products and promotions, and follows a community‑focused resolution with a nearby church—expanding adult‑use cannabis access in the region.
