This page explains the First Time Deal at Terp Bros NYC, how to claim it, and what it includes. Everything posted follows NY OCM rules on cannabis advertising, so read the details and visit either shop or the menu for the current welcome offer. The deal is designed to give a new Queens customer a comfortable first taste of the curated catalog: lab-tested flower, brand-name pre-rolls, edibles, vape carts, and concentrates without the sticker shock that sometimes greets first-time dispensary visits.
The offer exists because we want Queens shoppers to experience what a CAURD-licensed dispensary actually looks like: no fake indica/sativa hype, no suspicious "exotic" flower with no COA, no fake loyalty tiers locking basic savings behind a sign-up wall. Just honest product, clear pricing, and a fair welcome. If you have been buying from unlicensed shops on the same block, the comparison is eye-opening.
How Do You Claim It?
To claim the First Time Deal, walk into either the Astoria flagship or the Ozone Park shop with valid 21+ government-issued ID and tell the budtender you are a first-time customer. The system checks that your ID is not already on file; if it is a first visit, the welcome discount applies at checkout. Delivery orders through the menu apply the same offer to qualifying new accounts within Queens zones.
Come into the Astoria flagship at 36-10 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria, NY 11105 or the Ozone Park shop at 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd, Ozone Park, NY 11417 with valid 21+ ID. Mention the offer at checkout or show the promo code if one is active. Delivery orders apply the same deal through our online menu when eligible. You do not need to install an app, join the loyalty program, or subscribe to email; the welcome deal triggers on the first transaction.
Account sign-up at checkout is a 30-second process. The budtender or online menu scans the ID, creates the account, and applies the welcome discount. If you prefer to sign up in advance via the menu before visiting the store, that also works; the first-transaction flag sticks to the account, so the discount triggers at your first in-store or delivery purchase either way.
What Is Included?
The Terp Bros First Time Deal applies to a first-purchase welcome discount on flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, or concentrates from the brands we stock. Regular feature items include Terp Bros-made pre-rolls, Dogwalkers, MFNY, Silly Nice, Flamer, Hudson Cannabis, and Ayrloom. The Astoria location also stocks Stay Melo, the Carmelo Anthony-backed brand, when drops are available. Current discount details post on the menu and at the counter.
We run rotating specials on flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, and concentrates. Terp Bros-made pre-rolls, Dogwalkers, MFNY, Silly Nice, Flamer, Hudson Cannabis, and Ayrloom are regular feature items. The current first-time promotion details post on the menu page and at the counter. For a first visit, the budtender usually suggests one of three paths: a Dogwalkers mini pre-roll for a gentle intro, an Ayrloom 5mg gummy for an edible-first experience, or a quarter-gram of MFNY or Hudson Cannabis flower to see what NY-grown really looks like.
Stay Melo is Astoria-exclusive. If you are specifically chasing the Carmelo Anthony drop, head to 36-10 Ditmars Blvd. Availability fluctuates; calling (929) 614-3591 to confirm stock before the trip is standard practice for that SKU.
What Are the Rules and Limits?
First Time Deal rules at Terp Bros: one welcome offer per person per lifetime, 21+ with valid government-issued ID required, not stackable with other promotions unless specified, and all offers follow NY OCM cannabis advertising rules. Prices include excise tax. NY state daily purchase limits apply: 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate per day.
One deal per customer per visit. 21+ with valid ID only. Not stackable with other promotions unless stated. All offers follow NY OCM cannabis advertising rules. Prices include excise tax where applicable. The welcome deal applies only to a genuine first-time customer account; attempts to game the system by creating duplicate accounts are declined at the register because the ID scan matches against existing customer records.
Stacking: the welcome deal generally does not combine with a daily deal on the same order, but in some weeks the menu explicitly allows it. If so, the menu banner and the counter sign make it clear. Loyalty points still accrue on the welcome-deal purchase, so new customers start building toward their next tier from day one.
What Are the Queens Shopper Tips?
Queens first-timers maximize the welcome deal by planning the first visit around an on-deal day for their preferred category. Flower shoppers do best Monday through Wednesday when flower daily deals run. Pre-roll shoppers do best Thursday through Saturday. Edible shoppers do well midweek. Astoria and Ozone Park both stock the full regular catalog, so pick whichever shop is closer to your commute.
Astoria shoppers save an extra trip by grabbing deal items on the way home from Ditmars-Steinway N/W. Ozone Park shoppers can time pickup with Cross Bay Blvd errands. Delivery runs until 9:30pm in most Queens zones, so last-minute orders still land. Jackson Heights and Elmhurst first-timers on the 7 train often swing to Astoria. Howard Beach, Woodhaven, and Richmond Hill first-timers are closer to Ozone Park.
A practical tip: first-time visits are faster at off-peak hours. Weekday mornings between 10am and noon are quiet at both shops, which lets the budtender spend more time walking you through the catalog. If you want a 15-minute education on NY cannabis law, COA reading, and product comparison, off-peak is the window. Weekend afternoons are busier; the budtender is still helpful but the line behind you is longer.
Can I use this with the Loyalty Program? Loyalty points earn on all purchases. Promo stacking varies by offer.
Does delivery get the deal? Yes, where the offer specifies.
How long does this run? Some offers rotate weekly, some daily, and some tie to holidays. Check our menu for current dates.
What First-Time Queens Shoppers Should Know About the Welcome Offer
First-time Queens shoppers should bring valid 21+ government-issued ID, arrive ready to answer basic questions about experience level and preferred effect, and allow ten to fifteen minutes for the first consultation. The welcome offer is triggered at checkout once the account is created. Budtenders at both Astoria and Ozone Park are trained to guide first-time customers through the catalog without hard-selling any specific SKU.
The biggest first-time mistake is walking in with a specific brand name from social media and refusing alternatives. The Terp Bros buyers curate the menu based on what tests clean, what customers actually enjoy, and what delivers value at each price point. The budtender may not have the specific "viral" brand from Instagram, but they will have something equivalent or better that is lab-tested, licensed, and fresh.
Second-biggest mistake: skipping the COA conversation. Every product at Terp Bros has a certificate of analysis accessible on request. If you have never read a COA, the budtender will walk you through one. Understanding what the lab numbers mean is worth the five minutes on a first visit; it changes how you shop for the rest of your life.
How the First-Time Deal Compares Across Queens Neighborhoods
The First Time Deal is identical at both Terp Bros shops. Astoria customers and Ozone Park customers get the same welcome discount, the same catalog, and the same budtender-quality consultation. What varies is incidental context: Astoria is busier at rush hour because of N/W train flow, and Ozone Park is busier on weekends because of Cross Bay Blvd traffic. The discount and eligibility do not change by shop.
Astoria first-timers often come from LIC, Sunnyside, Woodside, and the Ditmars corridor itself. The shop sees a steady walk-in stream from the N/W station one block away. LIC high-rise residents tend to delivery-order rather than walk; the welcome deal applies either way. The catalog at Astoria includes Stay Melo when it is in stock, which is the one brand-specific reason to prefer Astoria for a first visit.
Ozone Park first-timers come from Howard Beach, Woodhaven, Richmond Hill, Rockaway, Broad Channel, and JFK-corridor addresses. The shop sees drive-up traffic from the Belt Parkway and Cross Bay Blvd directly. Ozone Park also picks up some Lindenwood and Resorts World Casino customers. The catalog is the full regular brand roster without Stay Melo.
What Budtenders Hear Most About the First Time Deal
Budtenders hear "what is the welcome offer," "can I use it with a daily deal," "do I need to sign up in advance," "does it work on delivery," and "what do you recommend for a first-timer" on repeat. Answers: the current welcome offer is on the counter and menu, stacking varies by week, no advance sign-up required, delivery qualifies, and recommendations lean toward low-dose edibles, mini pre-rolls, or eighths of MFNY or Hudson flower.
"What do you recommend for a first-timer" is the most useful question a new customer can ask. It tells the budtender you want guidance rather than a pre-selected product. The budtender will ask about past cannabis experience, preferred effect (relax, uplift, sleep, social, creative), and format preference (inhaled vs. edible). Based on those answers, they will show you three options at different price points. You pick.
"Can my friend also get the first-time deal" comes up when two people walk in together. Yes, as long as each person has their own ID, each person creates their own account, and each person pays separately. Two people on one transaction means one welcome deal. Two separate transactions means two welcome deals. This is a simple workaround worth knowing.
