Parkway Dispensary Wins Central Illinois Favorite Award Third Year Running

Tilton, Ill. – September 17, 2026 -- Parkway Dispensary has been named Best Cannabis Dispensary in Central Illinois at the 2026 People's Choice Awards, presented by The News-Gazette, marking the third consecutive year the locally owned shop has taken the title.

Voters picked Parkway for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 awards

The People's Choice Awards are determined entirely by public vote, meaning the win reflects direct customer feedback rather than industry judging. Parkway, located in Tilton and serving the Danville and Vermilion County area, opened in September 2023.

New customers get 50% off their first three visits

The dispensary sources lab-tested flower, concentrates, and edibles directly from independent Illinois cultivators and processors. Parkway says this direct-sourcing model gives customers access to craft-grown products not available elsewhere in the region.

Terrabis to Open McHenry County's First Dispensary Drive-Thru in Woodstock

Woodstock – September 13, 2026 -- Terrabis will open McHenry County's first cannabis dispensary drive-thru at its Woodstock, Illinois location by the end of September, letting customers pick up online orders without leaving their cars.

The Woodstock drive-thru will run nearly around the clock

The new lane will operate from 6 a.m. to midnight on Sunday and Monday, and from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It marks Terrabis' second drive-thru in Illinois, following the state's first dual-window dispensary drive-thru, which opened at Terrabis Grayville on September 4.

CEO Dan Ambrosino says convenience drives the model

"Everything we do starts with the customer, and a drive-thru is simply the most convenient way for someone to pick up an order," said Ambrosino. He credited Woodstock Mayor Turner, the City Council, Joe Napolitano and the local building and planning department for helping move the project through approvals.
