NuEra

nuEra Pekin is at 3249 Court St in Pekin — the first adult-use cannabis dispensary to open in Pekin, Illinois, operating since 2021. The dispensary serves adult-use customers age 21+ and Illinois medical cannabis cardholders. Hours are 10 AM to 7 PM Sunday through Wednesday and 10 AM to 8 PM Thursday through Saturday. nuEra is Illinois-family-owned (the Fitzsimmons family, Chicago-headquartered, vertically integrated following the 2024 Ieso cultivation acquisition) with sister locations in East Peoria, Champaign, Urbana, Aurora, and elsewhere in the state; license 284.000116-AUDO. Inventory spans Illinois-licensed flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, vape carts, topicals, tinctures, and accessories. Online pre-ordering is supported for in-store pickup. ATM on-site; debit cards work via the standard cashless-ATM workaround used across Illinois cannabis retail. Pekin sits in Tazewell County, which has a friendlier effective cannabis tax rate than Cook County — one reason this location draws customers from across the greater Peoria area.
