HARTFORD — The state awarded licenses Thursday for six medical marijuana retail outlets in Branford, Bridgeport, Bristol, Hartford, Montville and South Windsor.

State officials announced the six licenses, chosen from 27 applications, and said that the dispensaries will be up and running by summer. Two of the dispensary owners said Thursday that the start of their businesses will mainly depend on when the state's four licensed medical marijuana growers will have their products ready for sale.

The six businesses are:

Arrow Alternative Care Inc., 92 Weston St., Hartford

Bluepoint Apothecary LLC, 469 E. Main St., Branford

D&B Wellness LLC, 2181 Main St., Bridgeport

Prime Wellness of Connecticut LLC, 75 John Fitch Boulevard, South Windsor

Thames Valley Apothecary LLC, 1100 Norwich-New London Turnpike (Route 32), in the Uncasville section of Montville

The Healing Corner Inc., 159 E. Main St., Bristol

Thomas Nicholas, CEO of Prime Wellness in South Windsor, said he expects that the store will have products ready to sell by "late summer."
