Happy Days has built its brand on the most literal reading of its name. The Farmingdale dispensary at 105 Route 109 calls itself "Long Island's Happy Place." Its stated mission is to spread "happiness and education" about cannabis, and it backs up the friendly reputation with some concrete policies: leashed pets are welcome inside, budtenders greet shoppers with what the shop calls a concierge-style welcome, and the website even promotes its parking lot. The store runs on CAURD license OCM-CAURD-23-000035, among the first conditional licenses issued on Long Island.
One of Long Island's earliest licensed shops
State records show the Happy Days license was issued in December 2023 and record a December 30, 2023 opening date. The shop's own About page says it has been open since January 2024. Either way, it was among the first legal storefronts in Nassau and Suffolk. That puts it about six months behind Strain Stars, which opened Long Island's first store a few minutes away on Route 110.
The About page describes the owners as born-and-raised Long Islanders and claims the largest product selection in New York: over 1,000 products and more than 5,000 square feet devoted to inventory. That superlative is the shop's own claim, and Strain Stars' Riverhead megastore makes similar ones. Even so, a four-figure product count puts Happy Days among the deepest menus on the Island.
Free delivery across both counties
Delivery is where Happy Days stands out. According to its website:
- Free same-day delivery, seven days a week, to homes and businesses anywhere in Nassau and Suffolk counties
- No delivery fee. The site says pickup preorders have no minimum
- Unmarked standard vehicles. The shop notes that the branded Happy Days van seen on social media is used for events and marketing, not deliveries
- No deliveries to schools, state property or parks, in line with state rules
- An event request form for deliveries to parties and events
Order-ahead pickup works through a QR code sent to your phone. The order waits until you arrive, and you don't pay until pickup. The shop also has its own app, and the site references Aeropay for online payments.
Smiles, the Happy Club and the education hub
Happy Days runs two layered loyalty programs. Smiles points accrue on every purchase and can be redeemed at checkout, with bonus points for referrals and promotions. The Happy Club is a free membership tier with exclusive deals and early notice of specials.
The site also hosts an education hub with a cannabis-for-beginners section and an FAQ that explains outdoor versus indoor cultivation, micro-licensed growers, infused versus non-infused pre-rolls, distillate and resin. That's useful background for newer shoppers. Our guides to CBD versus THC and THC drinks, a category Happy Days stocks under beverages, cover more ground.
Menu categories listed on the site are flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles, beverages, tinctures and drops, topicals, CBD and accessories. The FAQ says New York-licensed brands can submit catalogs for consideration. We could not confirm a stable brand list from the site at the time of writing (October 2026), so we're not naming specific products.
Parties, pop-ups and guest budtenders
Happy Days runs a busier events calendar than most dispensaries. Past events listed on its website include a Halloween party with a midnight costume contest and a $1,000 grand prize, a Mother's Day "Royal Tea" and a "Happy Mom Club" celebration, and two April 20 events. One featured food from Dusty's BBQ and live music; the other, billed as the "Happiest Day Ever," brought in guest budtenders from brands including Ayrloom, Kiva, 5 Boro and Florist Farms. No upcoming events were posted when we checked in October 2026, so follow the shop's social channels for the next one.
The website also links to a podcast, videos and a blog. Recent posts are seasonal shopping guides tied to Long Island life, from beach days to watch parties.
Help after the sale
The delivery FAQ explains how problems get fixed. If a product arrives defective, customers call the store and dial extension 103 to reach dispatch, or file a ticket through the customer-support page. Dispatch can then arrange an exchange by delivery. That's a more defined process than many shops publish.
Giving back
The About page lists a long run of charitable work since opening. It says the shop has provided meals for homeless families, toys for underprivileged children, tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research, support for mental-health and at-risk-youth charities, and funding for heart surgeries for more than 100 children. We haven't independently verified those figures, but they are a notable part of how Happy Days presents itself.
Finding the Route 109 store
On the website, Farmingdale's posted schedule is a 12-hour day from Monday to Saturday, 9 to 9, plus a shorter Sunday from 10 to 8. State records list slightly shorter hours (opening at 10 a.m.), so call (516) 888-1505 if you're arriving early. The store is on Route 109 (Farmingdale Road) in East Farmingdale, near Republic Airport and a few minutes from the Route 110 corridor. Most shoppers drive, which is why the parking lot gets a shout-out.
A second store in Albany
Happy Days has expanded upstate. Its website lists a second location at 1656 Western Avenue in Albany under a separate license (OCM-RETL-26-000518). Albany hours are 9 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon–7 p.m. Sunday, and the phone number is (518) 876-5551. Western Avenue is one of Albany's main commercial roads, and the Capital Region already has dozens of licensed shops, including a Dazed outpost on Albany Shaker Road in Loudonville. If you're shopping there, our guide to Albany-area dispensaries compares the options.
Farmingdale neighbors compared
Happy Days sits in Long Island's most competitive dispensary pocket. Strain Stars on Broadhollow Road is the Island's first licensed store and has its own free Long Island delivery and cash-back loyalty. Planet Nugg, about a mile north on Wellwood Avenue, is another CAURD option. Choosing among them often comes down to which loyalty program you're already in. Happy Days' differences are its pet-friendly policy, its event-delivery option and a public charity focus. For other Nassau and Suffolk choices, scan High Today's statewide dispensary listings.
