About us

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.

    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.
