If you're searching for Hello, Hi near Burlington, here's the short, factual version: where it actually is, how to get to the door, what the shop is, and — kept plainly separate — the other licensed options nearby if you're comparing shops. Both stores named here are licensed Vermont dispensaries; this is a neighborhood guide, not a ranking.

Where is Hello, Hi?

Hello, Hi is at 46 Main Street, Suite 102, Winooski, VT 05404 — in downtown Winooski, the compact walkable district built around the Winooski traffic circle (the rotary), just across the Winooski River from Burlington. A useful thing to know up front: it's in Winooski, not Burlington proper, so if you're coming from downtown Burlington you're crossing the river, not walking Church Street.

How do you get there from Burlington?

Downtown Winooski sits about 2 miles northeast of downtown Burlington, and the two are connected by a short river crossing. A few ways in:

• By car: From downtown Burlington it's roughly a 2.0-mile drive — typically east on Pearl Street or Riverside Avenue, across the bridge, to the Winooski circle, with Main Street coming right off the rotary.
• Parking: Downtown Winooski has a public parking garage and metered street parking around the circle, which is generally easier than hunting for a spot on Burlington's Church Street.
• Transit: Green Mountain Transit (GMT) runs frequent service between downtown Burlington and Winooski, with stops right in the downtown Winooski core, so you can get there without a car.
• On foot or by bike: It's a walkable, bikeable couple of miles from Burlington's Old North End across the Winooski bridge if you'd rather not drive.

What is Hello, Hi?

Hello, Hi is a licensed Vermont cannabis dispensary that opened in 2023. It's notable as Vermont's first co-located dispensary — it holds both a medical and an adult-use license at the same Winooski address, so it serves both registered medical patients and adult-use customers under one roof. It carries the standard licensed categories you'd expect — flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, concentrates, and tinctures — and offers online ordering. Like every licensed shop in the state, its products move through Vermont's regulated, lab-tested supply chain. For anything specific — current selection, exact daily hours — their own website and listings are the best source.

What other licensed shops are nearby?

The Greater Burlington area has several licensed adult-use shops within a short drive of each other, which makes it easy to compare options. If you're weighing where to go, Float On is a licensed Vermont adult-use retailer at 136½ Church Street in downtown Burlington — about 2.0 miles from Hello, Hi, back across the river on the Church Street Marketplace. Both shops are licensed by the state; the difference is just which door you walk through, and which downtown you're already near.

Float On, about two miles west

If you're comparing licensed shops, here's what's factually true about Float On:

• Address: 136½ Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401 — right on the pedestrian Church Street Marketplace, at street level.
• Open seven days a week, and open late — 'til midnight on Fridays and Saturdays — which is useful if you're downtown in the evening.
• Order-ahead: You can build an order on the live menu and pick it up under your name, or just walk 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.

What should you know before you shop, at any licensed store?

A few Vermont rules apply the same way at every licensed adult-use shop in the state:

• It's 21+. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID; you'll show it at the door. No medical card is needed to shop the adult-use side.
• No public consumption. Vermont doesn't permit using cannabis in public — not on Main Street, 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.

Shopping a licensed store — Hello, Hi, Float On, or any other in the area — means what's on the label went through Vermont's testing and tracking. If you're new to any of it, our plain-English guides walk through the basics, or you can browse Float On's live menu before you head out.
