"As New York's legal cannabis market continues to grow, dispensaries in Queens are finding new ways to attract and retain customers. While the industry is still developing, the competition between stores is already leading to creative deals that go beyond simply stocking popular products. Veterans, first-time buyers, and returning customers can often unlock perks that make shopping at licensed dispensaries both rewarding and affordable."
"The reality is that dispensaries face significant challenges when it comes to pricing. With state taxes, high lease costs, and tight profit margins, most retailers are limited to discounts in the 5-10% range. Even so, those small savings add up, especially when paired with programs like loyalty rewards or daily specials. For consumers, this means paying attention to each store's promotions is one of the smartest ways to stretch their cannabis budget."
"One of the most consistent programs across New York dispensaries is the veteran discount. Veterans who present a valid ID can usually expect around 10% off their purchase. While this may not seem groundbreaking, it carries significance. Beyond saving money, the discount acknowledges service members and creates an added layer of accessibility to high-quality cannabis. In Queens, many dispensaries-including major names like Curaleaf-extend these savings to veterans on every brand in-store."
New York's legal cannabis market growth has prompted Queens dispensaries to offer creative deals to attract and retain customers. State taxes, high lease costs, and tight profit margins constrain retailers to modest discounts, commonly in the 5–10% range. Those small discounts become meaningful when combined with loyalty rewards and daily specials. Veteran discounts of about 10% are widely available and can apply to all in-store brands, increasing accessibility to premium products. Some craft brands, such as Silly Nice, are Black-owned and veteran-owned and feature small-batch offerings. Consumers benefit by tracking each store's promotions to maximize savings.
