BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Higher Collective, a new adult-use cannabis retail store located at 3369 Fairfield Ave. in Bridgeport, officially opened Friday, joining the company's five other stores in Connecticut.
The store's owner, Connecticut native Kianaha Abrams, welcomed the new store to the city with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday afternoon, along with Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim and other officials.
“I am extremely proud to be an owner of Higher Collective and am honored to serve the Bridgeport community,” said Abrams.
The company says each Higher Collective store is “owned by a different social equity applicant, providing ownership opportunities for minority leaders in the cannabis industry.”
Other Higher Collective stores are in Hartford, Killingly, New London, Torrington and Willington.
Ganim praised the store for creating jobs in Bridgeport, and for reaching out to the Black Rock community, city leaders and other businesses in bringing Higher Collective to Bridgeport. He said that he and other stakeholders highly evaluated the method.
“I'm proud to play a role in ensuring underrepresented communities have a real stake in this growing industry,” said Abrams.
Bridgeport and the Black Rock community are important markets for Higher Collective, especially with Fairfield's ongoing cannabis retail moratorium.
The store also partners with the Black Rock Food Pantry and serves as an ongoing donation hub to support local community efforts year-round.
