Due to the way the sales of cannabis products are regulated, cannabis shops must differentiate themselves with design, branding and the experiences that they provide. As such, retailers are setting themselves apart with memorable brick-and-mortar stores that are styled like vibrant convenience stores, cafeterias, diners and more. The psychedelic-inspired Scarlet Fire, for example, stands out as a one-of-a-kind location dedicated to the Grateful Dead.
Irisa is another example that differentiates itself with a tech-fueled interior that makes the most of virtual reality to promote education and interaction. Thanks to technology, it is capable of giving people a first-hand sense of what its products will be like to use.
Other hybrid cannabis retail spaces are fused with pizzerias or exist as shop-in-shops within other well-established retailers.
