Strain Stars Opens The First Recreational Dispensary In Riverhead, NY

It’s not every day that the largest dispensary in the state opens down the road.

For Long Island East enders, you’re about to gain easy access to over 2,000 recreational cannabis products across flower, concentrates, edibles, topicals, vaporizers, and accessories.

Strain Stars, Long Island’s very first cannabis chain, just opened its newest location in Riverhead, New York—making it Riverhead’s very first recreational cannabis dispensary.

Located at 1871 Old Country Road, Strain Stars celebrated its grand opening on Black Friday 2024 with exclusive deals and gift bags for the first 300 customers. In case you missed out, don’t fret.

Here’s everything you need to know about Strain Stars’ new Riverhead location, plus some Herbworthy recommendations for your visit.

“It’s been an incredible whirlwind ride since we first opened on that hot summer day in 2023,” said Strain Stars CFO Jasmin Kaur in a recent press release.

“Opening a second location, the first dispensary in Riverhead, will make it easier for many customers to get their favorite cannabis products. But this isn’t just about selling cannabis, it’s about building community, giving back to our community,” she adds.

Strain Stars decked out its Riverhead grand opening with merch, samples from industry-leading New York brands, a DJ, and food trucks. But why the move out east?

Yuvraj Singh, CEO of Strain Stars, added, “We know the island pretty well. We saw that there was a lack of this kind of industry, the legal cannabis market, out east.”

So, they’re spreading the love with free same-day delivery all across Long Island from both their Riverhead and Farmingdale locations. They’re also breaking a record for the largest recreational dispensary in New York, with the Riverhead location measuring 14,000 square feet.

That means more flower, more accessories, and more edibles than most New York dispensaries can handle. Strain Stars has over 2,000 products in total. Wondering what those are? See our recommendations below.
