Today, we are proud to feature our Bud & Rita’s-branded dispensary project in Niles (5960 West Touhy Ave. Niles, IL) made in partnership with Nature's Grace and Wellness, LLC. CFC worked in collaboration with Eastlake Studio (acquired by geniant), which provided the facility design for this dispensary. Appealing to the iconic greaser subculture with bold checkered floors and a classic teal-and-pink palette, the design offers fun cannabis twists on 1950s diner graphics and slogans such as, “Take the blue line to the bud line.” CFC and Eastlake Architects addressed both form and function, offering a streamlined checkout experience for frequent buyers as well as consultative and browsing spaces for those new to cannabis. "Cannabis Facility Construction is one of the most experienced general contractors in the cannabis industry nationwide and given our longstanding collaboration, we were excited to partner with them again to build both of our Bud and Rita's locations. These two unique dispensaries reflect the experiences of our local customers and vibrant culture of our diverse community." said Patrick O’Hern, Director of Marketing of Nature's Grace and Wellness, LLC. "Today’s cannabis consumers have lots of choices, and they care deeply about the retail experience — including the partnerships dispensaries have with local farms and other retailers” said Andrew Poticha, Founder & CEO, Cannabis Facility Construction. “We are proud to be part of these projects in which uniquely designed and built dispensaries are adding an element of fun to their neighborhoods and supporting nearby businesses.” Other key project partners included Boulder Engineering for engineering work, Quick Electric Industrial for security and IT, Bataglia and Parkside Group for electrical installations in the respective dispensaries, Dunaway for carpentry, Tim's Glass Inc. for the installation of storefront glass, and Right Way Signs, LLC for the exterior and interior signage and painted murals.
