Nearly two years after they made their initial pitch to the Select Board, sisters-in-law Priyanka and Tejal Patel finally saw their dream made a reality as they opened Uma Flowers, Pepperell’s first recreational cannabis store last week.
With the snip of some novelty sized scissors and town officials — including Select Board Chair Margaret Scarsdale, Town Planner Jenny Gingras and Town Administrator Andrew MacLean, in attendance, Uma Flowers officially opened its doors Wednesday, Dec. 8, after a soft launch the Sunday before at 2 Tarbell St.
Customers will be able to purchase products online for the first six weeks of operation, after which they can purchase on-site as well.
“It’s a dream come true,” Priyanka Patel said.
