Longmont gets first recreational cannabis shop

LONGMONT — Terrapin Care Station opened the first recreational cannabis store in Longmont on Monday.

Back in July, the Boulder-based retailer was awarded one of four licenses to open a retail cannabis shop inside Longmont city limits. Terrapin is the first of the companies to open its location, at 650 20th Ave. The 3,500 square-foot-space is operating out of a former flower shop. The store is adding 12 new jobs.

“I can’t say enough about our Terrapin Care Station family. My staff’s professionalism allowed us to be the first to present Longmont consumers with access to recreational cannabis,” Chris Woods, founder, owner and president of Terrapin said in a prepared statement. “Terrapin looks forward to a positive and healthy relationship with the Longmont community. As we continue to plant local roots, we hope to forge a long-lasting partnership with our friends and neighbors.”
