Where is Lucky You?
Lucky You is at 190 College Street, Burlington, VT 05401, in the heart of downtown; the phone number is (802) 404-0009. College Street is one of the cross streets that runs through the Church Street Marketplace, so the shop sits just off the brick-paved pedestrian stretch, a block from the middle of downtown. It's an unusual hybrid — a licensed dispensary paired with a self-serve espresso bar, an alcohol-free bottle shop, a specialty pantry, and an apothecary — and the cannabis side carries the standard licensed categories (flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, and edibles) with a menu that leans on Vermont's small craft growers.
What licensed shops are near Lucky You?
Downtown Burlington packs several licensed adult-use shops into a few walkable blocks, which is part of what makes it easy to browse on foot. The closest to Lucky You is Float On, a licensed Vermont adult-use retailer at 136½ Church Street — right on the Church Street Marketplace, about 0.15 miles away. That's a short downtown walk: a few minutes on foot, not a drive across town. Both are licensed by the state; the only real difference is which door you walk through.
The honest distance, walk, and transit
- On foot: From Lucky You at 190 College to Float On at 136½ Church is about 0.15 miles — a few minutes, flat and easy, straight onto the pedestrian Marketplace.
- Getting downtown: There's metered street parking on College and the surrounding blocks, plus the College Street and Marketplace parking garages a short stroll away, and bike parking around the Marketplace. Green Mountain Transit (GMT) buses serve downtown with stops near the mall, so you can arrive without a car.
- One note: Float On sits on the car-free Marketplace itself, so for that last stretch you'll be on foot either way — the block is pedestrian-only.
What's factually true about Float On?
If you're comparing options downtown, here's what's plainly true about Float On — just the facts, no claims about anyone else's selection or service:
- Address: 136½ Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401 — right on the Church Street Marketplace, at street level.
- Licensed: A licensed Vermont adult-use retailer, regulated by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board.
- Open seven days a week, and open late — 'til midnight on Fridays and Saturdays — handy if you're out downtown in the evening.
- Order-ahead or walk in: Build an order on the live menu and pick it up under your name, or just come in and browse.
- Vermont craft focus: The shelf leans on the state's small growers and makers, with everything moving through the same regulated, lab-tested supply chain.
How do you check that a shop is actually licensed?
This is the one thing worth doing before you buy anywhere, because an unlicensed seller skips the testing and tracking a licensed shop can't. The good news: it takes about a minute, and it works for any store in the state.
- Look for the Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB) license. Every legal adult-use retailer in Vermont is licensed by the CCB. Licensed shops display their license and are listed in the state's records.
- Use the CCB's public license lookup. The Board maintains a public list of licensed cannabis establishments at ccb.vermont.gov — you can search a store by name and confirm it's a licensed retailer.
- Cross-check the basics. A real licensed shop has a fixed address, checks your ID at the door, and lists Vermont-tested products. A "shop" with no address, no ID check, or that ships cannabis to you is a red flag.
Both Lucky You and Float On are licensed Vermont adult-use retailers, so either way you're shopping a regulated store. If you want the longer version of why that matters, our guide to licensed vs. gray-market cannabis in Vermont walks through what the license actually buys you.
What rules apply at any licensed shop here?
A few Vermont rules apply the same way at every licensed adult-use shop downtown — Lucky You, Float On, or any other:
- It's 21+. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID; you'll show it at the door. No medical card is needed for adult-use.
- No public consumption. Vermont doesn't permit using cannabis in public — not on Church Street, the waterfront, in a parked car, or anywhere public. It's for private use only.
- It stays in Vermont. Cannabis bought here can't legally cross state lines, even into a neighboring state where it's also legal.
- Tax is built into shelf pricing. Vermont applies a 14% cannabis excise tax plus the 6% sales tax; at a licensed shop that's already reflected in what you pay.
