Embarc, California's leading cannabis retailer, is thrilled to announce the opening of Madera's first dispensary. This milestone event not only signifies a major step forward for the local community but also marks Embarc's strategic expansion, being its 15th location in California and the third in the Central Valley.

"We are honored to be the first cannabis dispensary to open its doors in Madera," said Lauren Carpenter, Embarc’s CEO and Co-Founder. "From day one our mission has been to bring a community-centric approach to legal cannabis sales, and after a multi-year local outreach process, we are excited to be delivering on this promise here.”

Embarc’s expansion into Madera is in collaboration with Will Oliver, a Madera native deeply rooted in the community, and co-owner of Embarc Madera. Oliver shares, "I'm proud to join forces with Embarc and be part of Madera's historic step towards embracing cannabis. We're here to offer safe cannabis access, change misconceptions, and benefit our local economy. Together, we aim to show how cannabis can positively impact our community."

In keeping with Embarc's tradition of giving back, the Madera store will donate 1% of all sales to support local initiatives. These contributions will be managed by Embarc's Community Advisory Board, which consists of respected leaders and stakeholders from the area.

"As a long time Madera resident and advocate for my community, I am thrilled to see Embarc opening as the first cannabis dispensary in our Madera, setting the tone for what responsible, community-centric cannabis operations can and should be" said Baldwin Moy, Directing Attorney of California Rural Legal Assistance and a Community Advisory Board member. 

Located at 530 East Yosemite Avenue, Embarc Madera will present a thoughtfully selected menu designed to appeal to cannabis enthusiasts at every level, from the curious beginner to the seasoned expert. Opening its doors on May 1st, with a grand celebration on May 4th, Embarc brings its signature friendly and approachable service to the forefront, creating an inviting atmosphere that caters to a wide range of clientele. Customers will have access to exclusive deals, special doorbusters, and a wide selection of products from top California brands like Claybourne, Traditional, Wyld, Heavy Hitters, Kiva, Almora, Pure Beauty, 710 Labs, and more.
