MKDA played a pivotal role in bringing the first Hi! People cannabis dispensary to life in Derby, CT, crafting an inviting and tech-forward retail space. A mix of bright white shiplap and exposed brick sets a crisp, modern backdrop, while emerald green tiles at the checkout counter add a striking contrast. Natural materials and warm lighting soften the space, reinforcing the brand’s friendly, approachable identity. The open layout invites customers to explore, with curated product displays and a dedicated merchandise wall showcasing branded mugs, glassware, tote bags, and apparel. Elevating the customer experience, iPad-equipped hosts assist visitors in browsing the menu and placing orders, ensuring a seamless and interactive shopping journey. This project marks a significant addition to Derby’s retail landscape, setting a new standard for cannabis dispensaries with its thoughtful design and customer-centric approach.
