EMBR – Northampton

Behind the EMBR branding, the CCC identifies Apical, Inc. as the Northampton store’s legal name. An older, March 2018 CCC record for a different license and an Easthampton address listed Apical as a certified Minority-Owned Business; because that document is historical and tied to another application, it does not establish the Northampton location’s current certification. Stirm Group’s December 2023 reporting also covered a pending private dispute involving Apical and the separate Fyre Ants operation in Easthampton. The report said Apical sought damages and the return of a website and business information after staff departures and a temporary closure. The supplied excerpt records a scheduled preliminary-injunction hearing, not the case’s outcome.

The retailer’s category pages list sativa flower, THC gummies, and solventless rosin. Those are examples from the cited pages, not confirmation of current inventory or availability, so check the live menu before choosing a format.

Route data offers a reality check for two named points: Look Memorial Park is a 3.4-mile, 77-minute walk or a 4.56-mile, 15-minute drive, while Amherst College is a 7.12-mile, 16-minute drive. Both driving times are traffic-unaware estimates, not live-traffic guidance. Keep any store visit separate from time at the park, and do not drive impaired.
