New York City is once again making headlines, and The Travel Agency is thrilled to be a part of it! We are excited to announce the grand opening of our third branded and licensed cannabis dispensary right in the heart of Manhattan, on Fifth Avenue. Doors open this Wednesday, May 8th, at 9 a.m., inviting you to embark on a novel cannabis adventure in one of the world’s most iconic locations.
Fifth Avenue Manhattan New Cannabis Dispensary Opening
Your Journey to Elevated Experiences Starts Here, Between Radio City Music Hall and Grand Central
Conveniently located at 587 Fifth Avenue, our new dispensary is perfectly situated amidst a vibrant hub of entertainment, high-end fashion, and bustling tourism. You’ll find us nestled next to H&M’s flagship store and directly across from renowned retailers like Lululemon and Sephora, making it an easy addition to your Fifth Avenue explorations.
Positioned on the edge of the famed Diamond District, between East 47th and East 48th streets, The Travel Agency is incredibly accessible. We’re just a short stroll from the B/D/F/M subway lines and directly across from the 5th Ave/W 48th St bus stop, served by numerous MTA bus routes. For those arriving from the east, Grand Central Terminal, servicing the 4/5/6, 7, and S subway lines, is a pleasant walk up the illustrious Fifth Avenue, leading you directly to our doorstep.
Co-founder Arana Hankin-Biggers shared her enthusiasm, stating, “Partnering to introduce legal adult-use cannabis to such an iconic block in New York City is a tremendous honor. We are also immensely proud that our three dispensaries collectively provide employment for over 200 individuals, offering well-compensated jobs, comprehensive benefits, and real opportunities for career growth within this dynamic and rapidly expanding industry.”
The Travel Agency Expands Social Equity Commitment with Third CAURD Partnership in NYC
Our commitment to community support and social equity within the cannabis sector remains steadfast. This Fifth Avenue location marks our continued partnership with CAURD licensee Chris T. Concannon, the founder of Terrapin Greens LLC.
Chris T. Concannon emphasizes the significance of the location: “By establishing ourselves on the most celebrated shopping avenue, we aspire to further normalize cannabis consumption and demonstrate that cannabis can indeed be associated with sophistication and luxury.”
Concannon’s journey to becoming a licensee is a powerful testament to the positive impact of cannabis legalization. Having faced an arrest for cannabis possession in his early twenties, he transformed his experience into entrepreneurial success. For nearly three decades, Concannon has successfully owned and operated a family business in the financial printing industry.
Paul Yau, another co-founder of The Travel Agency, adds, “Our vision for The Travel Agency is to offer an unparalleled and sophisticated cannabis experience to New Yorkers. Through our collaborations with CAURD licensees, we are not only realizing this vision on a larger scale but also actively promoting social equity within the industry.”
