Elevate Your Experience: The Travel Agency Blends Cannabis and Design in Downtown Brooklyn
If you’re seeking an experience that not only stimulates your senses but also elevates your well-being, consider stepping into the world of The Travel Agency. You might not go to far off places, but you’ll certainly take a holiday to a better, more relaxed you.
Nestled near major transit lines at Atlantic Terminal and the Barclays Center, The Travel Agency brings legal, premium cannabis to Downtown Brooklyn. Open now at 562 State Street.
Celebrating its first anniversary, The Travel Agency, woman-founded and BIPOC-founded company, is not your typical cannabis dispensary. Founded on the belief in the legalization of cannabis and a commitment to repairing the damage caused by the war on drugs, this establishment is more than just a place to purchase products—it’s a community hub.
Curated for You: A Cannabis Haven in Downtown Brooklyn
The Travel Agency’s mission is clear: support BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA-owned brands, hire individuals with diverse backgrounds, and create a space that caters to a discerning customer who values quality and safe consumption. This commitment extends to their new location on Flatbush Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn, an expansion that reinforces their dedication to serving a diverse clientele.
Arana Hankin-Biggers, co-founder of The Travel Agency, shares, “We celebrate design, innovation, and education, and want to create spaces that can help transport all those who visit to a better world and a higher plane of consciousness.”
A Curated Cannabis Experience
What sets The Travel Agency apart is not just the cannabis they offer but how they offer it. With a curated selection of premium products, they provide customers with the best and most diverse array of New York-grown products. Every product is personally tried before it hits the shelves, ensuring quality and safety.
“Our amazing budtenders are the best trained in New York,” says Hankin-Biggers. “They can direct customers to the products that best fit their needs, a big differential in attracting customers aged 21-91.”
Whether you’re a seasoned cannabis user or new to this realm, the shop’s budtenders are ready to guide you. They undergo a comprehensive 5-day training session to offer insights into the history of cannabis, its impact on the endocannabinoid system, and personalized product recommendations.
Social Impact and Partnerships
The Travel Agency is not just about selling cannabis; it’s about making a positive impact.
“We’re a purpose-driven business, with our Downtown Brooklyn dispensary owned by those who have experienced cannabis-related injustices and our Union Square dispensary directing over half of the profits to The Doe Fund. The Doe Fund provides transitional and permanent housing, employment, and support services for people who have experienced homelessness or were formerly incarcerated (for things like cannabis possession).”
Hankin-Biggers explains, “We are excited to be a part of this amazing new industry that represents New York in so many diverse ways. We hope that you’ll come visit us and experience what a real NYC dispensary is like, with all the flavor, design, and energy of this amazing city.”
So, if you’re curious about integrating cannabis into your well-being routine or just looking for a unique and welcoming space, The Travel Agency in Downtown Brooklyn is not just a shop; it’s an elevated experience. Visit them, celebrate design and innovation, and discover the healing potential of cannabis in the heart of the city.
