Green Mountain Cannabis Works

Green Mountain Cannabis Works at 4542 Main Street is Manchester Center's first CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis retailer — it opened September 25, 2023, becoming the anchor dispensary for the Route 7A corridor between Bennington (~20 miles south) and Rutland (~40 miles north).

The shop occupies a 3,000 square foot storefront on Manchester's Main Street commercial stretch. Locally owned by a group of regional investors, Green Mountain Cannabis Works built its identity around Vermont-grown cannabis: the selection prioritizes products from Vermont-licensed cultivators, giving customers access to the state's small-batch craft growers in a full-service retail format. The product range covers flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vaporizers, concentrates, and topicals.

Hours: daily 11:00 AM–7:00 PM, seven days a week. Online ordering is available via greenmountaincannabisworks.com. Confirm hours before visiting, particularly in shoulder seasons.

Manchester's position makes Green Mountain Cannabis Works the natural cannabis stop for the southern Vermont ski corridor: Bromley Mountain is approximately 7 miles east on Route 11, and Stratton Mountain is about 18 miles southeast via Route 30 (roughly 30 minutes). On ski-day weekends, plan for mid-morning queues and consider ordering online for faster pickup.

Vermont cannabis tax in Manchester: 21% total — the 14% state cannabis excise tax, 6% Vermont state sales tax, and Manchester's 1% local option tax. Budget approximately $21 per $100 pre-tax and confirm the rate at purchase.
