The Hemp Center of Northern Illinois at 6739 Broadcast Parkway in Loves Park was founded in 2019 by Laura Renner, who spent four and a half years working in the medical marijuana industry before opening the store. What she found in that time was a CBD market full of products and almost no one with the knowledge to explain them — so she built a shop where education came first. The Hemp Center carries CBD oils, edibles, tinctures, gummies, pet products, and wellness accessories, with staff trained to guide customers through options based on their specific needs. Laura is named in reviews by customers who came in uncertain and left with exactly the right product. The shop sits in the Broadcast Parkway commercial strip near Perryville Road across from Peak Sports Club, accessible to Loves Park and Rockford residents alike. The Hemp Center of Northern Illinois suits CBD-curious adults and pet owners across Loves Park, Rockford, Roscoe, and greater Winnebago County who want an education-first hemp and CBD shop run by someone with real cannabis industry experience behind her.
