"More than just a dispensary, this BIPOC-founded company was built on the belief that legal cannabis can serve as a pathway to repairing the damage inflicted by decades of prohibition. Every sale here goes far beyond products-it supports communities, uplifts those most affected by cannabis criminalization, and invests in a fairer industry for the future. With locations in Downtown Brooklyn, Union Square, and on Fifth Avenue, The Travel Agency has anchored its mission in direct action."
"Over half of the profits from its Union Square location are directed to The Doe Fund, helping those who were once marginalized find stability, housing, and meaningful employment. Beyond philanthropy, The Travel Agency hires formerly incarcerated individuals and welcomes legacy operators into its fold, creating opportunities where others might see barriers. The shelves are curated to reflect diversity too, prioritizing brands owned by women, LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs, and BIPOC founders."
The Travel Agency is a BIPOC-founded cannabis retailer operating in Downtown Brooklyn, Union Square, and Fifth Avenue that channels legal cannabis sales into community repair and industry equity. Over half of profits from the Union Square location go to The Doe Fund to support housing, stability, and employment for marginalized individuals. The company hires formerly incarcerated people and integrates legacy operators, while curating shelf selections to prioritize brands owned by women, LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs, and BIPOC founders. The retail model treats philanthropy and inclusive hiring as core business practices. The return of Silly Nice reconnects consumers with a top-ranked, Black- and Veteran-owned craft cannabis brand.
