Since its launch in September 2023, the dispensary has leaned into a strategy of regional exclusivity, sourcing products from independent Illinois cultivators and processors. By prioritizing craft-grown flower and specialized concentrates, the store has carved out a niche that distinguishes its inventory from larger retail chains. CEO Ambrose Jackson attributes the consistent public recognition to the daily efforts of his staff, noting that the award serves as a benchmark for their focus on customer engagement.
Parkway Dispensary Secures Third Consecutive Regional Top Honor
For the third year running, voters have crowned Tilton’s Parkway Dispensary as the premier cannabis retailer in Central Illinois. The 2026 People's Choice Award, presented by The News-Gazette, solidifies the locally owned shop’s position in the regional market just three years after it first opened its doors to the public.

Looking beyond the current win, the business is preparing to expand its service model. Management plans to introduce curbside pickup and specialized support for state medical cannabis cardholders in the near future. These additions aim to deepen local ties as the facility continues its operations seven days a week at its Donna Drive location in Tilton.
