Native Sun Cannabis opens new 3,000 s/f dispensary in South
Boston - built by Metric Construction Corp.

South Boston, MA Native Sun, a dispensary and grower in Massachusetts, has expanded their retail operations with the debut of their first-ever venture into the city at 538 East 1st St. The brand-new, adult-use dispensary is located less than a mile from the Seaport District, and minutes away from Logan International Airport, and has on-site parking – 30 spaces in total. The store was designed in collaboration with Budder Creative and built by Metric Construction Corp. The broker involved was Alex Lopez of Coldwell Banker. 

Native Sun’s new location is over 3,000 s/f and offers a diverse selection of their crafted flower and concentrates. In addition, their first-ever dispensary in the city will have a large selection of cannabis infused beverages, nearing 50+ varieties, along with pre-rolls, vapes, and edibles. The newly opened dispensary is also bringing opportunities to those interested in a career in the cannabis industry as Native Sun plans to employ an additional 30+ individuals.

“After years of mastering the retail experience in the suburban areas of the state, we found it was time to bring our unique atmosphere to the city of Boston,” said Matt Gamble, COO at Native Sun Cannabis. “We strategically chose South Boston because the community did not have a cannabis retailer in close proximity. With the accessibility of on-site parking, and the increase of employment opportunities, we are excited to engage with a new community through our mutual love of cannabis.”

Co-owned by Boston natives and father and son duo, Geoff and Tim Caraboolad, Native Sun provides a safe and comfortable environment no matter where the consumer is, on their cannabis journey. The dispensary is there to help elevate one’s cannabis experience with customer service, premium product selection, and continuous, accessible education. Native Sun’s team of passionate cannabis experts, budtenders, advocates, and industry leaders are dedicated to sharing their love and knowledge of cannabis with all new, and existing customers and retail partners.

Native Sun also has retailers in Hudson and North Attleborough along with a grow facility in Fitchburg.
