Local Dispensary Named "Best in Central Illinois" for Third Straight Year

Parkway Dispensary takes home the People's Choice Award for Best Cannabis Dispensary in Central Illinois for 2024, 2025, and 2026

DANVILLE, Ill., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Parkway Dispensary, the locally owned and operated adult-use cannabis dispensary in Tilton, has been named Best Cannabis Dispensary in Central Illinois at the 2026 People's Choice Awards, presented by The News-Gazette. The win marks the third consecutive year Central Illinois voters have chosen Parkway as their favorite dispensary.

The People's Choice Awards are decided entirely by public vote, making the honor a direct reflection of the customers who walk through Parkway's doors every day.

Since opening in September 2023, Parkway has built its reputation on two commitments: offering some of the most competitive prices in the region, and stocking the largest selection of quality, craft-grown cannabis in Central Illinois. Parkway works directly with independent Illinois cultivators, processors, and brands to carry lab-tested flower, concentrates, edibles, and more that customers simply cannot find anywhere else in the area. New customers are also welcomed with 50% off their first three visits, giving first-timers a low-risk way to explore the menu and find what works for them.

"Winning this award three years in a row tells us the people of Central Illinois are paying attention to the little things, and that's exactly where our staff shines," said Ambrose Jackson, CEO of Parkway Dispensary. "Every budtender, every manager, and every person behind the scenes shows up with one goal: to create the best possible experience for the customer in front of them. This award belongs to them, and I can't thank them enough for their dedication."

Parkway isn't slowing down. The team is preparing to roll out new services designed to make shopping easier and more convenient, including curbside pickup and the ability to serve Illinois medical cannabis cardholders. Additional details on both programs will be announced in the coming weeks.

"From day one, our goal has been to build lifelong relationships with our customers and with this community," Jackson added. "Three years of People's Choice wins says we're on the right track. Central Illinois has given us their trust, and we intend to keep earning it every single day."

Parkway Dispensary is located in Tilton, Illinois, and is open seven days a week. Customers can browse the menu and order ahead at shop.parkwaydispensary.com/tilton.
