The Lifted Lounge

The Hemp Source is a hemp dispensary at 33 N Main St in Wendell, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-8, and CBD. The shop occupies a storefront in Wendell's compact historic downtown, a Wake County community that sits about 15 miles east of Raleigh along the US-64 corridor. The town retains a genuine small-town character despite its proximity to the Triangle's expanding metro area, and The Hemp Source fits naturally into that environment as a neighborhood shop rather than a chain location. Founded to serve Wendell's local population and the surrounding rural communities in eastern Wake and western Johnston counties, the shop carries THCa flower, Delta-8, edibles, and CBD products at prices accessible to a diverse customer base. Staff are known for making new customers feel comfortable, particularly those who have heard about hemp from a friend or family member and are visiting their first dedicated dispensary. The North Main Street address offers easy street parking and a welcoming interior suited to the pace of a small-town retail experience.

Apotheca Cannabis Dispensary is a hemp dispensary at 3430 Wendell Blvd in Wendell, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-9, edibles, and functional mushroom products. The shop serves a community that has grown rapidly as eastern Wake County has absorbed residential spillover from Raleigh, with new subdivisions and a younger population bringing different retail expectations to a town that has historically had a quiet, small-scale commercial character. The shop brings Apotheca's established multi-location retail model to Wendell Boulevard, the main commercial artery connecting Wendell's downtown to the US-64 corridor and the wider Triangle. The product lineup covers THCa flower, Delta-8, Delta-9, edibles, and topicals consistent with Apotheca's standard inventory. Staff follow the brand's education-first retail approach, beginning customer interactions with questions and information rather than product recommendations, which works particularly well for the Wendell location's mix of experienced hemp users and newcomers encountering a dedicated dispensary for the first time. The Wendell Boulevard address is accessible from both the town center and the surrounding residential developments.
