Star Buds Plans Special Weeklong Celebration November 18-23 Vendor pop-ups, food trucks, live music highlight festivities
BUFFALO, NY – A month after opening its doors to the public, Star Buds is ready to celebrate. Star Buds, a New York State licensed cannabis dispensary located at 396 Kenmore Ave., Buffalo, announced plans for a weeklong Grand Opening celebration for Monday-Saturday, November 18-23. The dispensary, owned by Nick Pitillo and Ed Gurbacki, owners of popular restaurants Osteria 166 in Buffalo and Villaggio in Ellicottville, is pulling out all the stops, with a week full of vendor specials and local food trucks, culminating in a Saturday bash complete with live music.
The dispensary officially opened for business on October 18. “Once we got our approval from New Yor State, we wanted to get up and running, so we didn’t have time to plan an official Grand Opening. Now, we want to celebrate with all of the customers and friends who have helped get Star Buds off to such a great start,” said Pitillo. “This is going to be a fantastic week. We still have great fall weather to enjoy, so we’re ready to roll with some of our vendors, a few of Buffalo’s best food trucks, and some great live music to cap things off.”
The Grand Opening Week celebration will feature pop-up offerings and specials from select vendors, and lunch from participating local food trucks each day from Monday-Friday. It all leads up to Saturday, November 23, when multiple vendors and food trucks will be on-site, and the George Olmstead Reggae Band will keep spirits high with live music.
