Get ready, Tucson! A new cannabis destination is blooming in the desert.
Ponderosa Dispensary is throwing open its doors at 3008 N. Stone Ave. from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, January 18, with a grand opening celebration that promises to be the talk of the town.
This isn’t your average dispensary launch — it’s more like a cannabis party featuring an impressive lineup of over 20 premier cannabis brands, games, DJ Shorty spinning tunes, and giveaways.
The festivities will showcase some of the best of Arizona’s cannabis culture, with brand representatives on-site to answer questions and share their expertise.
From premium flower to artisanal edibles, you’ll find an extensive selection of products at special grand opening prices. Two of Pondy’s house brands, Canamo Concentrates and Sonoran Roots, will be showcased with Tucson’s largest available selection right here at Ponderosa.
Also, select cannabis brands will be set up in the parking lot!
El Guero Canelo will be serving up delicious eats to satisfy those inevitable munchies. Browse the vendor marketplace in the rear parking area while enjoying the festive atmosphere and connecting with fellow cannabis enthusiasts.
Ponderosa opened its first location in 2013, in Maricopa. Expansion and mergers ensued and now Tucson is home to the most recent location.
Offering deli-style cannabis, consumers can enjoy a full sensory experience, seeing and smelling the cannabis flower before it is packed in their signature sandwich bag. The shopping experience at Ponderosa is centered on friendly and informed budtenders – they’re creating a community hub where knowledge, quality, and culture converge.
Don’t miss this landmark event in Tucson’s cannabis community. Mark your calendars for January 18, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., and be part of history in the making!
Note: You must be 21+ and have a valid ID to attend. Consumption of cannabis products on-site is not permitted.
