Best of BONS 2024 | Northshore (Massachusetts) Dispensary.
CNA Stores has been accumulating awards since we first opened in late 2020. Our journey began with the prestigious John P. Ratka award from the Haverhill Chamber of Commerce in 2021. Ratka, a Navy veteran and Executive Director of the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center (VNEOC), left a lasting legacy. CNA has closely collaborated with VNEOC, raising nearly $40,000 per year from our customers and donating over $100,000 ourselves. Our efforts include weekly food pantry assistance and substantial hands-on support.
Our community involvement has earned us numerous accolades. Amesbury Mayor Kassandra Gove recognized us with the “Above & Beyond” award, and the Amesbury Council on Aging honored us for our volunteer efforts. One of our notable initiatives is the Snow Angel project, where we help seniors and veterans with snow removal in Amesbury and Haverhill. Since 2020, we have amassed nearly 3,000 community service hours and aim to match last year’s total of 850+ hours.
We take pride in the products and services offered at our retail stores. Our Amesbury-crafted cannabis products are now available in 62 retail locations across Massachusetts. Our dedication to quality and community is reflected in the curated selection we offer, tailored to our neighbors' preferences.
Our achievements extend beyond local recognition. We were honored with USA Today's Best of the Seacoast award for 2023, beating four Maine dispensaries in a fierce competition. Now, we proudly add the Best of BONS (Best of North Shore) award to our list of accomplishments, thanks to your votes.
Our customers have donated $137,000 to local charities, which CNA matched in bonuses to our hourly staff. This win-win process highlights our commitment to community and philanthropy.
We cherish our customers, community, and the products/services we offer. Thank you for the prestigious awards and unwavering support. We look forward to many more years of achievements together.
