The opening had a long runway. According to Turnto10.com, town selectmen said Solar’s Seekonk launch took more than two years, including a six-month COVID-related delay. The same report placed the shop in a former Supreme Coffee & Donuts building along busy Route 6. Justin Sullivan, then chair of the Seekonk Board of Selectmen, said the agreement with Solar Therapeutics anticipated donations to community charities; he also said the town had earmarked cannabis tax revenue for future projects and infrastructure needs. That combination—a repurposed storefront, a delayed launch and public discussion of where local revenue would go—made this a distinctly municipal story, not merely a retail opening.
