Local Roots NE

The About page on the retailer's site credits the founding to cannabis advocates and experienced craft cannabis professionals, and describes the business as locally owned. Public filings fill in more. A Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission licensing document filed under the name Local Roots NE, Inc. lists retail commence-operations entries for both Sturbridge and Fitchburg, and states that no evidence was discovered during inspection indicating the establishment was out of compliance with applicable state laws and local bylaws or ordinances. The same document sets standard conditions of licensure: the licensee stays subject to inspection, must remain suitable for licensure, and must cooperate with Commission staff. Separately, the Marlborough City Council granted Local Roots NE Inc. a special permit to build and operate an adult-use marijuana retail establishment at 910 Boston Post Road East — a decision concerning that Marlborough address rather than the Fitchburg store.
