In October 2018, Restore Integrative Wellness Center launched its second dispensary in the northern Philadelphia suburbs, building on the success of its Fishtown location. Once again, Restore enlisted the expertise of CLC Design Studio to create a cutting-edge facility in Elkins Park.

Before finalizing the location and design, CLC Design Studio conducted a thorough site selection process, evaluating multiple properties to ensure the perfect fit. Once the ideal location was chosen, the team engaged in extensive zoning meetings with local police and community members, facilitating project approval.

CLC Design Studio then transformed a nearly 6,000-square-foot former office building into a sophisticated medical dispensary. The design aimed to blend professionalism with comfort, creating a welcoming environment for patients. This transformation included thoughtful layout planning and unique touches, such as a custom mural by a local artist.

From a business operations perspective, the Elkins Park dispensary was designed to optimize functionality, including a specially designed garage to manage the spatial constraints inherent to cannabis business activities.

Programming the space to efficiently accommodate both patient experience and business operations was crucial for maximizing customer service and throughput, ensuring a seamless and effective dispensary experience.
