Why Yonkers?
As Budr opens its first New York location in Yonkers, it marks a major step in its mission to serve communities through cannabis. The dispensary offers more than just a place to purchase products—it’s a hub where education, social equity, and responsible cannabis use come together.
Co-founder Carl Tirella Jr. is originally from Yonkers, so giving back to this community is especially important to him. “Our goal is to cultivate an environment where curiosity is welcomed, knowledge is shared, and the power of cannabis to foster connection and wellness is celebrated. It’s about raising the bar for our community and contributing to a better society.”
Budr takes pride in elevating the cannabis retail experience through ethical practices, local engagement, and customer education. Every interaction is designed to ensure guests feel valued, informed, and supported in their cannabis journey. The company’s dedication to social equity and ethical business shines through in its partnerships and hiring practices, making Budr a trusted presence in the community.
Budr continues its responsible expansion into New York with plans for future locations, aiming to foster wellness, connection, and a deeper understanding of cannabis.
