Hibernica established a new cannabis dispensary in Harlem during the summer of 2026. This expansion follows the success of the company's first store, which opened in the Pelham Bay neighborhood of The Bronx in April 2024.
Why it matters
The move into Harlem was driven by the general manager's personal connection to the community. Hibernica now aims to deepen its local presence through partnerships with neighboring businesses.
Hibernica operates two locations including the new store at 111 W. 110th St. and the original site at 3220 Westchester Ave., which has been in operation for roughly 2.5 years.
