Massachusetts-based Curaleaf has opened its first legal pop shop in Cape Cod. The company has oepned the marijuana store in Provincetown, Massachusetts this past Wednesday.
Town officials granted the Wakefield-based company local approval prior to the opening of the store, which is located along Cape Cod’s bustling downtown of shops, restaurants and bars. The company says it expects to employ about 30 people.
Provincetown is at the tip of the Cape, and is one of just six on the peninsula to allow the drug.

According to a press release from the company, the retail store is located at 170 Commercial Street in the heart of Provincetown and will be open seven days a week.
Normal hours of operation are 10am – 6 pm from Monday through Saturday and 10am – 5pm on Sunday during the winter and early spring.
“We are very excited to bring the first adult-use cannabis dispensary to Cape Cod. Provincetown is a vibrant community where we plan to hire over 30 people and become engaged with the cultural activities, charities and local initiatives that are important and make the Outer Cape and Provincetown so special,” said Patrik Jonsson, President of Curaleaf Massachusetts.
“As one of the largest cannabis companies in the United States, we are proud to be based right here in Massachusetts and to be expanding our presence across the Commonwealth,” said Curaleaf CEO Joseph Lusardi. “Providing high quality and reliable products to patients and customers in our home state is a key part of Curaleaf’s mission.”
