HIGH DESIGN: DESIGNING FOR A NEW CANNABIS CULTURE
We will dive into the best practices and considerations when designing today’s modern dispensary. Getting creative with the vibe, we discuss topics including strategic merchandising, the importance of customer privacy, technology considerations, and the significance of the brand experience. Presently, over 75% of the United States has adopted the legal use of marijuana for recreational and/or medical purposes. With its emergence from the shadows of the law, it's getting a total makeover. No area of Cannabis culture has seen (or needed) a bigger change than the interiors of dispensaries. Traditionally, they have been non-designed with a low profile. Now, get ready for chic retail lounges that are supported by a multi-billion-dollar industry.
