Caroline’s Cannabis

The Hopedale opening followed a public, two-year path. In July 2019, Wicked Local reported that Frankel had appeared before the Board of Selectmen to discuss a host community agreement, then a preliminary step, while considering a different site on Menfi Way. WBJournal.com later reported that state regulators granted final licensure on September 17, 2021, for plans at 4 Charlesview Road. On November 5, 2021, the Milford Daily News reported the store had opened there. Frankel credited town officials for their role, saying, “They really embraced us through the entire build-out.” The chronology gives Hopedale’s store a concrete local story: an early proposal moved addresses, cleared the state process, and became the roomier second shop.

Google currently lists a free parking lot, wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance, and debit-card acceptance. The retailer page lists online ordering with in-store pickup, while Google lists no delivery. Verify the Hopedale details before leaving, especially if the listed 10 p.m. closing time shapes the trip.
