You have to come visit this dispensary. It outshines all the rest! Great Hours: open from 6am - 10pm (8pm on Sundays) Outstanding Deals: I can't find any better anywhere else. EVERYONE is so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely dedicated to making your experience incredibly pleasant. The security team, cannabis advisors/senior cannabis advisors, agents in charge, managers/upper management, the very present/involved/hands-on owners and even the adorable shop dog, Emmy, constantly have smiles on their faces and put out good vibes, striving to bring smiles to all the customers as well. They are doing a great job! A Big Thank You to the entire Team!

My dislike is they don’t keep supplies updated. Example 14:1 tablets and you don’t have a lot of gummy‘s

Great selection and convenient to shop at. Staff was helpful and warned me about a reward program which gave me a 10% discount on my order. Will def shop here again.

Love this place! Definitely way better than other dispensaries I’ve been to!

When I came to the shop Angel treated me with so much care that I would love to come here over and over again she gave me a lot of education on different kinds of cannabis from oils to different types weeds

This place is not like other dispensaries from the vibe to the freebies and colors. (Freebies meaning pizza Friday and free drinks) The atmosphere is out of this world. Never been to a dispensary that feels like a party walking in! I love the new location! The cloud wall is top tier too

Everyone was friendly and helpful. The whole experience was great and very fast. I definitely will be back.

Always great service and deals! Also a great selection. Near work for an easy stop.

Great experience here. I always come for the skywalker flower here at the westmont location. They always have it in stock and overall the employees are great. Will be my go to place to get my skywalker and carts. 10/10

Erica the security guard greeted me today. She is so nice and really made me feel welcomed. Coco was my budtender. She is always so friendly and kind. She is patient and always has solid suggestions. Awesome daily deals and great rewards program too. Highly recommend. 5 Stars!

Love the atmosphere of this store - variety of product, merch and accessories. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, close to the city center - I'll be back!

Great dispensary & service, just wished they had a better variety of brands.

Very clean and organized. Selection was limited, but that is to be expected right now.

Ed was awesome at fixing an issue, he made sure I was happy..

My go-to dispensary! Always helpful with the best deals encompassing a wide variety of products!! Outstanding!

I’ve been coming to this Rise since legalization and wow what a change. The newly remodeled building is amazing. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Greg is the man! He knows everything. Always fun laughing with the people behind the counter too. Some funny ass mfers. Always a good experience here and their selection has drastically improved.

12/24/25. Sam, the cashier was super chill & down to earth. Really good at his job and took good care of me as a customer! 10/10 experience.

I loved the atmosphere of Sociale! from the second you are greeted by the security they are all incredibly kind. I have had the best times with Jeremy who works there! He is the BEST! and truly looks out for the customer :) i’ve been a pretty frequent buyer and since they opened I will not change dispensaries! they are the absolute best!!

Been shopping here a few years, spent alot of money, accumulated reward points, many points. They decided to cancel program, gave short notice, then canceled it a week early without notice. Messaging is clear, we'll take advantage of our customers. Avoid this shop, there's many others.

I like the variety of herbs provided here along with the quality

This is a Rec AND Med shop. Not just Med

First off i just wanna say i loveee this establishment i have yet to experience anything less than great customer service from everyone. Today I went in and had the pleasure of being serviced by Deanna and just like our past interactions she was a pleasure and had me dying laughing. Besides the great vibes she and the other lady with the now orange hair always gives me but she went above and beyond for me and I truly appreciate her kindness and her very contagious personality that made my transaction and visit the best experience

Great deals, I usually shop around but they are definitely the lowest prices in the state! Nice to have a new dispensary that is colorful, offers free food and products i've never seen before closer to home! Thanks for the great service and free pizza!

Thank you to my budtender Kendall. I've had the pleasure of doing business with him a few times before and is always very pleasant and courteous, as are all the mission South Chicago employees. Calumet City mission could take a lesson or two from South Chicago, just saying

I love this shop, every time I am in town, I come every and shop there everyday the people are great
