The Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation[2] (NSLC) has unveiled its initial cannabis store designs[3]. Cannabis will be sold in 12 stores across the province when recreational marijuana becomes legal in summer. However, only one of them will be a stand-alone store. The rest would be setup as dedicated cannabis zones in existing liquor shops.
According to a report in The Star Halifax[4], the 11 liquor stores would be renovated at a cost of $500,000. Since minors are not allowed to enter stores that carry pot products, the store-within-a-store design includes an opaque wall to cordon off the cannabis zone, and a separate entrance.
At a press conference, NSLC’s CEO Bret Mitchell said, “We have what I consider a modern, bright, really merchandise-intense full-service environment which we are going to roll in July.”
Per The Star Halifax, renderings of the store interiors look well-lit, with white walls and a few bright punches of colour. Additionally, a wall of weed boxes behind the cash registers show off the variety of products on offer.
