The City of Boston now has two recreational marijuana dispensaries.
With little fanfare, Berkshire Roots opened its East Boston pot shop for the first time Monday. The company, which also runs a marijuana dispensary in Pittsfield, received a commence operations notice from the state’s Cannabis Control Commission late last month.
Located at 253 Meridian St. — about a half-mile walk from the Maverick MBTA Blue Line station — the new East Boston dispensary is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, according to its website.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, customers are currently required to reserve their order and designated pickup time online before visiting. Face coverings are also required inside the store, per state guidelines.
Customers will not be allowed to enter until they receive a text confirmation that their order is ready.
