White Plains just got a little greener. On Saturday, March 15, 2025, The Purple Owl Dispensary officially opened its doors at 405 Mamaroneck Avenue, inviting the community to experience a new kind of cannabis retail one rooted in education, quality, and community impact.
From vendor pop-ups to mouthwatering bites from Walter’s Hot Dog Truck, the grand opening was a celebration of inclusivity, accessibility, and a fresh perspective on the modern cannabis experience.
A New Standard in Cannabis Retail
At Buzz Creators, we’re proud to support The Purple Owl; a woman- and minority-owned dispensary on its mission to destigmatize cannabis and make it approachable for all.
Led by co-founders Beth Smith and Juan Alverio, The Purple Owl Dispensary offers a curated selection of premium products including flower, edibles, tinctures, and wellness items. The difference? A welcoming, judgment-free space where customer education is the top priority.
“This isn’t just about selling cannabis,” said Beth Smith, Co-Owner and CEO. “It’s about creating a safe, informed, and inclusive environment—whether you’re a first-time buyer or a longtime enthusiast.”
Convenient Access, Local Roots
In addition to in-store shopping, The Purple Owl offers curbside pickup and same-day delivery to both Westchester and Putnam counties. With flexible service hours and expert guidance from their bilingual team of budtenders, the dispensary prioritizes customer care at every touchpoint.
Juan Alverio’s involvement in the business reflects the importance of New York’s CAURD (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary) program. A lifelong Ossining resident, Juan brings a deeply personal connection to the cannabis space, as well as a commitment to restorative justice and education.
