[PRESS RELEASE] – ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 25, 2026 – C3 Industries announced the opening of High Profile Cannabis Shop Manchester, the Company's fourth and newest Connecticut dispensary at 185 Spencer St., directly off Interstate 384 at Exit 1B. The Manchester dispensary is now open daily, serving cannabis customers 21 and older in-store, online and via the region's only dispensary drive-thru window within a 20-mile radius.
High Profile Manchester sits at the heart of one of Connecticut's busiest commuter corridors, giving I-384 travelers from Hartford, East Hartford, Glastonbury and Southern Manchester a dispensary stop on the way to their destination. The building itself has long been a staple for the daily commute, previously home to a national coffee chain that served the same morning and evening rush for years. High Profile is stepping into that same role: a familiar stop, now reimagined as Connecticut's most convenient cannabis destination on the corridor.
Inside, customers will find a broad selection of cannabis products: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes and concentrates. Priced competitively and stocked to reflect what Manchester-area customers want. High Profile's retail model is built around one principle: Put the customer at the center, then build everything around them. That means knowledgeable staff on the floor, an assortment that isn't locked to any single brand and pricing that leaves the customer feeling real value.
The store is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday, among the longest dispensary operating hours in the Greater Hartford market.
"We talk a lot about putting the customer at the center, but in Manchester that means something specific," C3 Industries Chief Retail Officer Chris Melillo said. "It means being open when commuters actually need us, carrying the products they're looking for and making sure every person who walks in, or drives through, leaves knowing they got real value. That's the standard we hold ourselves to at every High Profile, and Manchester is no different. We meet our customers where they want us."
"This location didn't happen by chance; our team planned and selected this site," C3 Industries Chief Strategy Officer Krista Raymer said. "I-384 is one of the most underserved commuter corridors in Connecticut. We studied the traffic patterns, the competitive landscape and what customers in this market were already driving past every day. We're not asking customers to go out of their way. We're putting this High Profile location where customers are."
