Elevated Roots Dispensary in Abington MA

The newest Roots on the South Shore

“Opening in Abington has been a long time coming.” That is how Matthew Martinez, president of the Elevated Roots dispensary group, described the company’s third store when it launched in January 2026. The wait is over. Elevated Roots Dispensary in Abington MA now sits at 1423 Bedford Street in North Abington, open every day of the week and serving shoppers from Abington, Rockland, Whitman and the rest of the South Shore.

It is a bright, modern shop with house brands grown just down the road in Kingston, a team that leads with education and a grand opening that felt more like a block party. If you are curious about the new store in town, here is what to know before you stop in.

Open since December 2025

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission lists 1423 Bedford Street as an active, licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, open since December 22, 2025.

The official celebration came a few weeks later. Elevated Roots threw its grand opening on Saturday, January 17, 2026, with a 9am ribbon cutting and festivities that ran right through Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Abington News reported that South Shore Chamber of Commerce CEO Tim Cahill was set to cut the ribbon. The party was free for adults 21 and over, with branded merch, brand pop-ups, swag bag giveaways, a live DJ and food trucks out front.

Third store, fourth shop in town

Abington is the third Elevated Roots dispensary, after Kingston and Halifax. It also joined a busy block. According to Abington News, it became the town’s fourth retail cannabis shop, and three of the four sit along Bedford Street.

So what makes this one different? Abington News pointed to one big thing: unlike the other shops in town, Elevated Roots runs its own cultivation and manufacturing, out of its facility in Kingston. The paper also reported that Bobby Palma of Kingston is one of the owners, which gives the store a true South Shore pedigree.

More than an expansion

Martinez made it clear that Abington was not just another dot on the map. “This location represents more than expansion,” he said in the opening announcement. He described the goal as “creating a space that feels approachable, well-designed, and rooted in trust.”

That idea of trust shows up in how the company talks about itself. In a tough market, Elevated Roots marketing director Blandine Jean-Paul told Abington News, “We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we cultivate and curate.”

Glowing counters and wood walls

Step inside and the look is clean and warm at the same time. The company describes illuminated white display counters, mounted digital menus and sleek walls with wood accents, plus design touches that nod to its Nostalgia flower brand. It is meant to feel comfortable for longtime cannabis fans and first-time visitors alike.

Shopping works a little differently here, too. Abington News described products displayed under glass tabletops, tablets for shopping and a separate counter for picking up orders. You browse, you build your order and you grab it at pickup, without leaning over a crowded counter.

Grown down the road in Kingston

The Abington shelves carry both of Elevated Roots’ in-house brands, grown by the company’s own cultivation team in Kingston:

Nostalgia. The flagship flower brand, built around vintage strains with a throwback feel.
Ritual. A line Abington News described as designed for daily use.

Elevated Roots also stocks products from other local and national makers, so there is plenty of choice beyond the house lines.

An education-first store

Elevated Roots calls the Abington shop an “education-first environment,” and its reviewers seem to agree. Here is what shoppers say on the Abington store page:

Sam Lilj. “Place is awesome amazing quality and great prices.”
Dream. A shopper who drives over from Middleboro wrote, “The employees are so friendly and incredibly helpful,” and praised the staff for taking time to explain different strains.

If you are new, say so. The team is there to walk you through categories, potency and anything else on your mind.

What’s on the menu

The Abington store carries a full adult-use lineup:

Flower and pre-rolls
Vaporizers
Concentrates
Edibles
Tinctures and topicals
CBD products
Accessories

Browse the live menu on the Elevated Roots website, order ahead and pick up in the store. Menus and specials change often, so a quick look before you leave home saves time.

Deals Instagram can’t show you

Instagram will not let Elevated Roots share many of its deals, so the company posts them on its own blog instead. Its blog post “Too Smokey For Socials” promises “All the deals Instagram won’t let us tell you about.” Past rounds have included spend-based discounts with a bigger version for loyalty members, plus bundle deals around holidays like 4/20. One rule to remember: “Promos are not stackable unless specified.”

The easiest way to stay in the loop is to join Elevated Insiders, the company’s news club for “new drops, in-store events, exclusive bundles, and local happenings.”

Pink pre-rolls for a good cause

Elevated Roots likes to give back. In October 2025, its Puff Pink campaign turned pre-rolls pink for breast cancer awareness, with 100% of proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. In a campaign update, the company reported selling 1,500 pink pre-rolls and raising $12,361.

Talking cannabis at the holiday table

With the holidays coming, one Elevated Roots blog post is worth a read: five tips for talking about cannabis with family at Thanksgiving. A few highlights:

Ask before you argue. “Instead of launching into a passionate defense of cannabis, start by asking questions.”
Respect where people are. “Not everyone is ready to embrace the plant, and that’s okay.”
Point them to good information. “Sometimes the best thing someone can do is get informed.”

Good advice for any table, cannabis or not.

Make a day of it in Abington

Abington is a compact Plymouth County town of 17,062 people (2020 census), covering just over 10 square miles. It is the fourth-smallest town in Plymouth County, and it borders Holbrook, Weymouth, Rockland, Whitman and Brockton.

Long before the town had its English name, the area was known as Manamooskeagin, and two local streams were named for the beavers that lived along them. The name Abington came in 1706, when Governor Joseph Dudley named the town to honor Anne Venables-Bertie, Countess of Abingdon. The missing “d” is a fun bit of trivia: the spelling came from a note in the margin of the original petition. The town once covered much more ground too. Rockland split off in 1874 and Whitman followed in 1875.

Abington has a knack for invention. An iron foundry opened here in 1769, and in 1815 Jesse Reed invented a machine that mass-produced tacks. Beaver Brook, which runs through the eastern part of town, powered the town’s factories.

North Abington, home to the store, has one of the town’s best stories. In 1893, a fight broke out between town constables and railroad workers over a streetcar line that crossed the tracks. The town built its line anyway, and the railroad later built the North Abington Depot in the style of architect H. H. Richardson as a peace offering.

Today, Abington celebrates with a Founders Day festival on the first weekend in June, plus Halloween and Christmas festivals. Its notable names include Sarah Louise Arnold, the first dean of Simmons College and a national president of the Girl Scouts, children’s TV pioneer “Big Brother” Bob Emery and Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen. Part of the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station runways even reaches into the northeast corner of town. The town has no highway exits of its own, sitting between Route 24 and Route 3.
