Bethina is the best she's so sweet and helpfull best dispensary in town 100% recommended
This spot has become my favorite. I've been going here since they opened in Jan 2024 and I stopped going anywhere else. Their hours and products are great and the staff is probably the best, knowledgeable, aware, friendly, and helpful staff you will find. My fav is Hayley and she is honestly the best person at Theo Cannabis in Franklin Park -- no question. Hayley is the reason I keep coming back to Theo. She’s always super cool and friendly every time I walk in. She actually greets you warmly, helps you, gives legit recommendations, and never rushes you. She really goes out of her way for people. Every time I leave, I feel like I got exactly what I needed because of her. The other girls are also super friendly and helpful and polite as well. The owner is lucky to have such a great staff.
just visited for my first time and it was so amazing!! delaney and may were super helpful and made everything super smooth and easy. thanks so much for the great experience and will be back!
