Cannabis Retailer Releases Plans For Natick Store

NATICK, MA — A cannabis retailer has released plans for a proposed adult-use store along Route 9 in Natick.

Phytotherapy CEO Dale Buckman said that she has applied to open a retail store where the Bernie and Phyl's store sits along westbound Route 9 near Byron Road. Natick began accepting proposals from adult-use businesses for consideration this spring.

"We know that success comes from going above and beyond the standards, working with our neighbors, whether they be residents or fellow businesses, and a commitment to providing the best products and customer service," Buckman wrote in a recent social media post.

Phytotherapy's website gives an overview of how the business will operate, including a traffic study.

Natick will review all adult-use applications before holding community outreach meetings. After that, Natick may begin negotiations on host-community agreements with qualified applicants.

Natick is only allowing two cannabis retailers to open in town. There is no cap on the number of ancillary marijuana businesses, like grow operations or testing labs.

A second marijuana business, Bountiful Farms, has applied to move its medical dispensary to Mercer Road in Natick from Lakeville, according to the Cannabis Control Commission.
