Hi! People - Derby

Went for the first time after frequenting Affinity in Bridgeport and New Haven and I'll be going to Hi People instead from now on. The employees were so sweet and it's such a cute spot! 10/10

There's really nothing bad to say about this place. Everyone here is nice and knowledgeable and their selection is really good. It never smells like pot when you walk in which is pretty nice because sometimes that smell can be overwhelming in places like Rise dispensary in Orange Connecticut. I'm not bashing Rise Dispensary because they're fantastic with an awesome selection and really cool merch. It's just the smell that can kind of hit you in the face once you walk in so it makes me wonder how fresh their flower could be if air's getting to it so much that you can smell it in the lobby of the entrance. But anyway these guys are good and all but they don't offer wax or dabs for anyone with a medical card whatsoever. It's either Vapes or flower or nothing at all.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Always manage to find the exact strain or eddible I am looking for when I describe what I want. Good strain selections at various price points.

Prices are a bit on the high side for recreational. The taxes are high but that's not their fault. The door greeter was so sweet. We talked for a good 5 minutes. The bud tender was informative but not the best at math. We wanted a $25 eighth and didn't want to go above $30. He kept suggesting the ones for $30 and then forgetting the tax which brings it above our $30 max. I guess that's what the cash registers are for but you should at least be able to do some form of mental math. Other than that the place is nice and the pizza restaurant (The Italian Pavilion) is back open as a little take out joint out back. Spend $50 in Hi! People and get a free small or show your receipt and get a $10 large cheese. Only for a limited time to celebrate the grand opening. This may not be relevant in a few months.

Jackson was absolutely amazing. Patient, informative, and great sense of humor. The rest of the staff, The Ladies, were all phenomenal. Helpful, kind, and down to earth. Great atmosphere. A must go to for all the feel good items you are looking for. From focus, to uplifting, to making sure you get the zzzzz's in. Thank you!
