Flora Farms is expanding its marijuana footprint, opening a new adult-use, recreational dispensary in Hollister — the community’s first.
Opened Friday, the new Flora Farms dispensary is located at 165 Hollister Parkway in Hollister, right off U.S. 65 next to the Bass Pro Shops Angler’s Lodge. The dispensary will be open everyday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The new dispensary is the first that Flora Farms Director of Retail Mary Kate Black was able to design completely from scratch. The dispensary features a drive-through, online pre-ordering, 11 registers, a waiting room and large, fulfillment-style vault, according to a news release. A fulfillment-style vault allows Flora Farms to stock a wide variety of products.
The Hollister dispensary is Flora Farms’ sixth marijuana dispensary in the state. Flora Farms also owns and operates dispensaries in Springfield, Ozark, Lee’s Summit, Stateline and Humansville, where the company’s cultivation facilities are located.
