The Apothecary Shoppe is excited to announce the groundbreaking of their new state-of-the-art medical marijuana dispensary in Lafayette, Louisiana. This will be the company’s new headquarters location, replacing their current Lafayette facility on Guilbeau Rd. This new headquarters facility will be their third location in Acadiana, alongside New Iberia and Opelousas. 

Blair Vidrine, COO of The Apothecary Shoppe, said that the new location will offer a one-of-a-kind experience to patients.

“The Apothecary Shoppe is Acadiana’s only Medical Marijuana Dispensary, and that is something we do not take lightly. We are committed to providing our community with exceptional products and services in a sophisticated and welcoming environment. We are thrilled to expand our presence in Acadiana and bring this innovative new facility to Lafayette,” said Blair Vidrine.

The cutting-edge medical marijuana dispensary is designed to deliver a premium shopping experience, catering to all customer needs. It features a massive sales floor with a diverse selection of products, a flower room that will allow customers to see and smell marijuana flower products up close, drive thru, private patient consult area, and an express order pick up area. In addition to all these features, The Apothecary Shoppe will have an in-house coffee shop operated by Nube 9 Columbian Specialty Coffee. The interior of the dispensary features custom mosaic tile flooring, tongue and groove cypress wood ceilings, and custom millwork with extensive glass product displays. Additionally, there is a synthetic lawn courtyard and a striking building façade combining painted brick and Nichiha Architectural wall panels.

The new dispensary, designed by Azalea Design Studio, offers a high-end retail environment, providing a versatile shopping experience for its customers.

“The design of The Apothecary Shoppe’s new dispensary reflects our commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing,” said Tim Green, Founder and Principal of Azalea Design Studio. “We have worked closely with The Apothecary Shoppe to ensure that every detail of the design enhances the customer experience.”

Commercial general contractor, Rudick Construction Group, will oversee the construction of the project. “We are honored to be part of this exceptional build for The Apothecary Shoppe,” said Hunter McKay, Vice President and Division Manager of Rudick’s Lafayette office. “Our team is dedicated to delivering a facility that meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.”

The Apothecary Shoppe’s new dispensary aims to set a new standard in the medical marijuana industry, combining luxury with practicality to serve its customers better. This expansion reflects the company’s dedication to enhancing access to medical marijuana while contributing to the local economy and community.
