The San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce invited all those interested to attend the grand opening party for the Peninsula's first legal cannabis dispensary: Embarked Redwood City.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embarc's seventh store in the state is located at 1870 Broadway in Redwood City, where a small ribbon cutting was held with local officials on Thursday, while the grand opening party will take place this Saturday, February 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Lauren Carpenter, CEO of Embarc, this will be \u201cthe first legal cannabis business to open its doors in this community, a testament to our team\u2019s ability to deliver on our promises and our commitment to Redwood City.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoppers will be able to enjoy a variety of product offerings, as well as a local farmers' market, where they can learn about and buy products made from cannabis, as well as enjoy vegan food stalls, among other surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embarc is one of four qualified carriers who were rigorously selected by city authorities in 2022 to operate locally in Redwood City, in order to receive a city retail and delivery permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embarc\u2019s operations will provide significant community benefits, including hundreds of volunteer hours and ongoing funding for local community organizations, which will be guided by a Community Advisory Board, a group of local stakeholders who are given a seat at the table to ensure accountability and transparency in the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Embarc Redwood City will donate 1.0 percent of all sales back to the community, coupled with its interest in being co-owned by multi-generational local residents who ensure that its operations serve as a collaborative partner to the city, the community and the organization itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
