Why work at Holyoke Cannabis

Locally rooted

We hire from Holyoke and the Pioneer Valley first. Our owner James has spent 25 years building local businesses, and that’s the standard for us.

Real growth

No prior cannabis experience required. We’ll train you on product, compliance, and the floor. Strong performers move up — to lead, ops, and management.

Friendly & unpretentious

No bro-culture, no gatekeeping. We help first-timers like family, and we treat each other the same way.

Bilingual encouraged

Spanish-speaking applicants strongly encouraged. A meaningful share of our customers prefer to shop in Spanish, and we value that skill.

A snapshot of the kinds of work that happen at the shop. Specific openings are listed below — or send us a note if your fit isn’t obvious from a job title.

Budtender / Floor staff

Help customers pick the right product, ring sales, keep the floor stocked, and answer the questions first-timers are afraid to ask.

Pickup & packaging

Pull pre-orders, package product, and run the express pickup window. Fast pace, clear procedures, satisfying work.

Inventory & receiving

Manage incoming product, lab tracking, and compliance logs. Detail-oriented work that keeps the whole shop running.

Security & front-of-house

ID verification at the door, customer flow management, and end-of-day procedures. Calm, observant, friendly — the first face people see.

Open positions

We don’t have specific openings posted right now, but we’re always meeting people. If you’d be a fit for one of the roles above, send us your info — we’ll reach out when something opens up.
