According to Greenhouse, the 5,040 square-foot open-plan space was deliberately configured to offer a premium, curated customer experience, with a large focus on educational displays throughout the space. The interior will include a consultation zone dedicated to in-depth consultations with trained product specialists, and will have six point of sale stations with social distancing parameters put in place.

The Melrose Park location has filled 33 new jobs and focuses on inclusive hiring that will drive equitable, diverse growth opportunities within the cannabis industry.
