Your Neighborhood
Cannabis Dispensary
Market 96 was born out of a desire to create a cannabis shopping experience like visiting your neighborhood market. It was founded by the Blounts&Moore team, a collaboration of nine highly accomplished women partnering with other like-minded, socially conscious entrepreneurs. Our Market 96 name pays tribute to the first state-level cannabis legalization in the United States in 1996 and honors the cannabis experience of today.
At Market 96 our unwavering commitment is to make everyone who steps into our neighborhood dispensary feel welcome, comfortable, and valued in their cannabis journey.
Creating an experience of genuine hospitality, our team members take the time to listen, put our customers at ease, and understand their preferences. They are an approachable, trusted resource to help each customer navigate our diverse selection of high-quality products.
Market 96 is a familiar space. Our goal is to create a community where neighbors become friends and to have a positive impact that reaches beyond our doors.
As our guest, we want you to feel welcome and be glad you came the minute you walk through the door. You matter and we always appreciate you making the choice to shop with us.
We’re committed to making every visit a great experience. Our advisors will meet you where you are in your cannabis journey and offer a supportive, safe space where everyone feels at ease and valued.
Our team makes your neighborhood dispensary a community. We want it to be a place rooted in kindness where everyone feels respected, supported, valued and proud to be part of the team.
Starting as a budtender, I devoted myself to mastering cannabis knowledge to educate and empower those around me. Now as a leader, I guide budtenders to foster community understanding and eradicate cannabis stigma. An Aurora native, I am passionate about uniting diverse individuals through education on the various benefits and consumption methods of cannabis.
A Fox Valley area native and former student-athlete, I am thrilled to lead Market 96. With a background in national brand retail management, I bring a blend of intelligence, grace, and good humor to enhance the cannabis retail experience at Market 96. My journey from the retail sector to cannabis focuses on building community engagement and delivering educational initiatives to demystify cannabis and highlight its benefits.
At Market96, we're committed to providing each team member with the support and tools to find personal fulfillment, growth, and reward in the work we do together. Contact us today to learn more about joining the team. Please submit your contact information, position, and location of interest.
