Mission Dispensaries is set to open a medical marijuana dispensary on Lincoln Street in Worcester next month with the goal of beginning recreational sales this summer.

The Phoenix, Arizona-based company has locations throughout the country, including in Cambridge and Georgetown. Worcester’s facility is Mission’s largest dispensary yet, with 5,500 square feet of space on the retail side and a 22,000-square-foot cultivation facility in the same building.

The store is located at 640 Lincoln St. and is expected to open in early- to mid-April, pending state approval.

“I think Worcester is really a great market and the amount of traffic that goes by this facility, it’s easy to get to, it’s large, which is an attractive footprint for us,” Chief Experience Officer Leah Heise said, adding the store is about three times larger than Mission’s other locations. “I think Worcester is a community that’s been accepting of it, and in the cannabis industry, that’s hard to find.”

While Mission will first open for medical sales, Heise said adult-use should follow shortly — likely in June or July.

The dispensary has a private patient consultation area where employees will meet with customers to determine their specific needs and discuss strains and delivery methods.

“Depending on what your knowledge is is where we meet you,” Heise said.

Patients also keep a log of their experiences with different strains, which employees track to provide the best care possible.

“We really try to make sure it’s individualized and then track that data,” she said. “We’re constantly mining that data across all our stores to make sure we’re giving the best feedback.”

While Mission is set to open next month, its approximately 15 employees have already begun training on everything from the store’s point-of-sale system to identifying different marijuana strains by smell and taste.

When the dispensary is open, customers will check in at a front desk and a patient advocate will escort them onto the sales floor, where they’ll be able to explore a number of displays on consumption methods, strains and more, before buying their products at the counter.

Mission will carry its own products as well as wholesale products, including flowers, edibles, vape cartridges, tinctures and topical creams.

Customers can also pre-order products online and stop by the store to pick them up at an express lane, Heise said.

All products are prepackaged, meaning they’re not directly handled by anyone at the store.

“One, it’s faster, and two, it keeps the products very sanitary,” Heise said.

Once Mission opens for recreational sales, she said the dispensary expects to hire additional staff. Its cultivation facility will likely begin growing next month.

Heise said the company is on track to have 19 stores open across the country by the end of the year.
