nuEra is a vertically integrated Cannabis company located in Illinois. We were a pioneer in the Illinois cannabis market, one of the first licensed operators in the medical pilot program, and have been serving the Illinois medical cannabis community since 2016 with locations in Chicago, Aurora, East Peoria, Pekin, Urbana, and Champaign.
The name nuEra highlights the fact that legalization in Illinois didn’t just change the laws on the books – it unleashed a whole new era of cannabis.
An era in which cannabis is safer, higher quality, and available in a greater variety than ever before. Canna-consumers have more methods of consumption, more strains, more precise dosage labeling, and better information about the effects of each of our products than any generation before them.
Our newly acquired cultivation center in Central Illinois currently produces solventless concentrates, flower, and prerolls in a variety of strains with corresponding effects such as pain relief, relaxation, focus, uplift, and more.
We’re in the process of expanding our product offerings to include edibles, vaporizer cartridges, tinctures, and topicals to the Illinois Cannabis market. Welcome to a new era of cannabis!

*Only Chicago, Urbana, and East Peoria locations

5 months agoWe loved it! Everyone was so kind and helpful that worked there. They took the time to explain everything very thoroughly and I truly appreciate that. I get flare ups from an old injury and this is what helps to make it a lot more bearable. Thank you! 💚

3 months agonuEra in Urbana is one of the best dispensaries I’ve been to. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and spot-on with product recommendations. Angel, the manager, is so sweet and clearly passionate about creating a welcoming, community-based vibe. I dropped off a copy of my book for her, and she was genuinely appreciative, which speaks to the close-knit energy they’ve built. I recently checked out with Kashif, and he was really nice and made an effort to build rapport during the visit. It’s small interactions like that that show how much the team values customer experience. I truly love what nuEra stands for and look forward to continuing as both a loyal customer and future supporter.

a month agoTyler was incredibly helpful and patient with my questions and the fact I added extra things to my order. He's incredibly kind and, from what I got when we were talking, he cares about being patient and as helpful as he can be. He made what was a long/rough go so much smoother with his kindness, friendly customer service and his incredibly helpful/positive manner. Please make sure Tyler knows this? He made a rough, long day for me go so much smoother during my visit and I hope he stays! He seems to be an excellent addition to your staff. Please make sure he knows this! Your whole staff has been nothing but kind during my visits.... But Tyler is the kindness, most patient, helpful, positive workers I've seen here. Please make sure he knows! I made sure I'd get a card to do a review on Tyler at your Urbana NuEra location. An employee like this deserves recognition for his positive, incredibly helpful work! Thank you, Tyler for your help! 10/17/2025

a week agoI love shopping here for the discounts and (usually) great staff, and have been a loyal frequent flyer for some time, but on Nov. 15th i finally had a bad interaction with a budtender, Jack. I came in as a walk-in customer, not overly close to closing time, and was expecting to wait, not in a rush to get through the line. From the moment I entered the walk in line, Jack had come from behind the counter and practically forced the ordering tablet into my hands, all while telling me that ‘once i order i can switch to the pickup line’ in a very condescending tone, as if I was a child who needed to be walked through the system. I wasn’t very interested in placing a kiosk order because i had wanted to actually discuss a bit with my budtender before i made a choice, and fellow customers in the walk-in line had the same sentiment. Jack continued to push me to order on the kiosk, and when i said something about being there as a walk-in to talk, he got upset at the rebuttal. When it was finally my turn to approach the counter, Jack was the only budtender available and as i stepped up he very rudely said ‘Sorry, actually I am not going to help you I am going on my lunch’ and then proceeds to practically slam my rosin jar down at the next available budtender’s desk, as he was clearly not pleased that I wasnt letting him rush me out of the store. I love all the staff at both locations in town, but this was beyond acceptable behavior especially when there was no hostility to begin with.

2 months agoTatiana and Jack made my experience at nuEra awesome! I’ve never been to a nuEra before and didn’t know what to expect and the friendliness and awesome atmosphere was definitely felt as soon as I walked in the door. The cheap prices and the wide variety of product not only on the website but in store on the sales floor (bowls, papers batteries, even Puffco’s and things like that) were very awesome as well.
