Following a ceremonial ribbon cutting with representatives of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce at 10:30 a.m. on Oct 25, guests visiting Zen Leaf Waterbury throughout the grand opening celebration weekend will be greeted by complimentary coffee and donuts, a food truck serving Connecticut’s famous Ted’s steamed cheeseburgers, a live glassblowing demonstration, and discounted specials on CTPharma products.
