Oklahoma has blown up the medical cannabis scene, with well over 2500 store fronts and even more on the way in 2021, surpassing even Colorado and California. We are excited to share some of our favorites. Love to the out of the box design, breaking the dank pot shop image that looms over this industry. Fresh, clean, creative spaces that become more than a retail shop, a community education center.

Check out Apco in Tulsa, owned by siblings Ford Austin and Shayna Marino. They thoughtfully planned a media area on their retail floor to host web events. It also doubles as a selfie spot when not in use. The flexible floor plan works as an education center by adding portable tables & chairs. They frequently host wellness talks to the community. We are loving the pale color palette and mix of original tin ceiling with mid century modern furniture.

Apco is a medical use dispensary which also has a relaxation and meditation center on its second floor.

Living Leaf in Moore & Oklahoma City keeps it modern, simple and graphic. Everything from the font on the mural to the color scheme mirrors their branding. We love the high contrast and simplicity. They allow light to flood the space, keeping it cool and bright. The modern medical has an elevated upscale vibet with lux touches throughout.

A simple gold script mural of their motto ties it all together.

We couldn’t talk about Oklahoma dispensaries and not mention a great example of Industrial style. Fire Leaf Dispensary, located in the Stockyards in Oklahoma City, is designed to look like a barn repurposed into an industrial space. Exposed beams, black ceiling and rustic woods. The waiting room is a casual hangout. The graphic font mural becomes a selfie spot.

The unusual diagonal placement of the cases leads the customer to the cash wrap in a meandering way, which is a great technique for product placement and impulse shopping. Fire Leaf has done a great job of logo placement.

The best dispensary design, and what I strive for as your designer is a perfect luxury shopping experience for your customer, holding true to your brand and beliefs as well as maximizing your profits. The marriage of these three qualities makes for a great partnership between dispensary and designer. Want to find out more about how we work and how we can boost your sales?
