NEW YORK —
Union Square Travel Agency: A Cannabis Store (USQTA) and the House of Cannabis (THC NYC) today announced a unique partnership designed to elevate the experience of visiting the attraction at 427 Broadway in SoHo, New York. The announcement was made by Paul Yau, CEO of USQTA, and David Goldburg, Interim Chief Executive Officer of THC NYC.
As of today, THC NYC’s guests who wish to enjoy cannabis products as part of their visit can order exclusively from USQTA, home to one of NYC’s most extensive selections of cannabis products. Through onsite kiosks connecting directly to USQTA’s delivery service, guests can place their order and have it delivered within an hour. The kiosks mirror the experience consumers would have if they visited USQTA’s store on 835 Broadway but within the immersive environment of THC NYC.
The museum is centered on education, community, and cannabis culture. Industry experts and influencers from across industries have hosted lifestyle experiences from new music listening events from leading chart-topping artists and fashion week runway shows to film screenings at the 30,000 sq ft 5-story New York City attraction on the corner streets of Broadway and Howard. Through new partnerships, patrons can expect even more music and film events and exciting activations, including gaming launches, art exhibits, and celebrations of community culture, including joint rolling masterclasses and the upcoming “Hotbox Experience.” Remaining true to its core since its inception, THC NYC will host talks on social justice and reform while introducing health and wellness workshops.
David Goldburg, interim Chief Executive Officer of THC NYC, said, “We are excited about this partnership with Union Square Travel Agency. Our guests, from enthusiasts to the canna-curious, can now visit our location, place their order with USQTA, have it delivered, and then enjoy their experience at the House of Cannabis.” Goldberg continued, “With full legalization in place and legal retailers opening across the city, we believe this partnership supports the growth of an emerging industry. It is a beautiful alignment of plant-touching and ancillary cannabis businesses working together.”
Paul Yau, CEO of USQTA, said, “We’ve been a fan of the House of Cannabis since it opened, and like us, they want their guests to explore the cannabis plant, products, and community in the most memorable and educational way possible. Helping people navigate impactful cannabis experiences is what we’re known for, and offering delivery to THC guests is a great example of how cannabis hospitality will look moving forward. We’re proud to be working with THC to make this happen.”
Museum tickets and entry fees are not required to utilize the USQTA kiosks, which are located on the ground floor adjacent to its merchandise retail shop, Café featuring world-renowned Sangsters Coffee from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and “Corner Store” snack shop. USQTA delivery will be available during the museum’s operating hours from Wednesday through Sunday, starting at 11:00 a.m., with 6:30 p.m. being the last opportunity to place an order for delivery before the museum closes. Delivery times will be extended during special events at the museum.
