Recreational cannabis sales ushers in a new era in Connecticut retailing BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com
T
he morning of Jan. 10 saw camera crews and reporters descend upon Research Drive in Stamford for what promised to be the hottest retail story of the year: Fine Fettle Dispensary, which had opened its doors to medical use several years earlier, was about to conduct its
