Express Cannabis Shops

Sip ‘N’ Smoke by Superette is Styled Like a Cafeteria with a Moving Line

— August 19, 2021 — Business
Sip ‘N’ Smoke by Superette recently opened its doors in Toronto and this cannabis retail concept sets itself apart with a convenience-focused express format. The first-of-its-kind shop spans 690 square feet and it's organized like a cafeteria so that shoppers can grab a tray and select what they'd like as they move down the line. Some of the colorful products for adults that can be purchased on the spot include everything from pre-rolls to beverages.

The bright colors of the express cannabis shop make it feel like stepping into a cartoon and its nostalgic design stands out from other retailers that opt for modern and neutral atmospheres. Naturally, there's a budtender on-site to help with offering suggestions, and the brand even stocks its own Superette merch.
