Westerville dispensary debuts cannabis drive-thru for 'fast, convenient service'
WESTERVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) — A medical and adult-use marijuana dispensary with multiple locations in central Ohio is offering a new option for some of its cannabis customers to receive their products.
Trulieve Westerville, at 8295 Sancus Boulevard, has announced that its first drive-thru service in Ohio is now available. In a news release, the company said clients can pick up their orders while still in their cars.
“We’re always looking for ways to improve access and make the customer experience more seamless,” said Mac Amin, Trulieve’s Director of State Operations for Ohio. “Whether you’re a busy parent, a working professional, or a medical patient managing mobility challenges, this new drive-thru in Westerville delivers fast, convenient service without ever leaving your vehicle.”
Trulieve Westerville opened in July 2023 as a medical cannabis dispensary. While this dispensary is not the first to offer drive-thru service in the central Ohio area, it appears to be the first in Westerville. Previously, NBC4 reported on Michigan-based Nar Reserve providing a pickup window at its Delaware site.
Ohio's Division of Cannabis Control permits drive-up dispensary windows, provided the business follows specific security and surveillance requirements.
Amin told NBC4 that customers have embraced the added convenience.
“We have seen a fantastic response since introducing drive-thru service at our Westerville dispensary,” said Amin. “The ability to reserve your order online and pick it up without having to leave your car has been a game changer for our customers and medical patients.”
Truelieve, a national cannabis retailer, operates more than 200 locations in nine states across America. Six current storefronts are in Ohio, and one upcoming business is slated to open in Cincinnati. In central Ohio, Trulieve can be found in Clintonville, German Village and Westerville.
Central Ohio Truelieve locations are open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
