Where Nature Meets Nuance

A collaboration between Zacate and Display Dispensary created a calm,
boutique-inspired retail space that blends seamlessly into its community.
------------------------------

Situated at the confluence of the Delaware River and Rancocas Creek and
originally settled by Quakers, Delran, New Jersey, is known as a tight-knit
community. So, when Zacate’s owners set out to design a dispensary for the
small but growing Philadelphia suburb, their goal was simple but ambitious:
fit in by creating a space that didn’t feel like a dispensary at all.

Instead of going for flashy or overly thematic, the brand envisioned a
space both understated and rooted in natural elegance mirroring the area’s
celebrated geography. That vision came to life with the help of the Display
Dispensary team, who worked closely with the brand to develop customized
display solutions that feel effortless and intentional.

“We knew from the start that the main goal was to create a location that
didn’t feel like your typical dispensary,” said Jeff Sunga, head of
business development at Display Dispensary. “Zacate had a clear vision of
something calm, elevated, and welcoming, so the project was about designing
with intention and keeping things minimal and warm while really dialing in
to how people will move through the space.”

The interiors lean heavily on organic textures: light wood finishes,
soft-panel blinds, and clean architectural lines. Display Dispensary’s
challenge was to design and build fixtures that complemented the aesthetic
without intruding on the space’s sophisticated, minimalist appeal. The
Zacate team wanted the interior to “breathe” in the tradition of high-end
clothing and jewelry boutiques where the design is remarkable because of
its impeccable understatement.

“We knew the displays had to match that minimal, natural feel—nothing too
loud or bulky,” Sunga said. “So, we focused on our Dispensary123 displays,
which use materials and finishes that blend in with the space. The idea was
to keep everything really architecturally clean and simple so the product
and the environment could speak for themselves.”

Glass island showcases became the centerpieces of the floor plan, offering
both visual harmony and practical ease of use. The muted, matte-black
frames nearly disappear, allowing both products and the customer experience
to take center stage. Semi-gloss pipe-type shelf supports add a touch of
industrial chic, while white locking drawer units with glass showcase tops
provide an elegant backdrop against which products pop. A checkout counter
finished in durable white and light-oak laminate adds refinement to utility.

“We ended up customizing the islands specifically for Zacate’s layout,
which gave them a unique and functional centerpiece that fit seamlessly
into the store’s flow,” Sunga said. “We also helped with the concept and
layout for the store’s ‘green wall’ and panel blinds, both of which add
subtle texture and softness to the space without distracting from the
product. Even though we didn’t produce those elements, collaborating on the
visual direction helped tie everything together and keep the brand
experience consistent.”

At Zacate, shopping isn’t rushed. The customer’s journey through the store
is thoughtful by design, and the displays play an enormous role in setting
the pace.

“In a place like Zacate, where the whole vibe is relaxed and thoughtful,
the fixtures have to support that,” Sunga said. “We designed everything to
slow the shopping experience down a bit; to give people space to explore,
take their time, and not feel rushed. The interior design helps customers
feel comfortable, which I think builds trust and makes the experience more
personal.”

The design ethos is apparent in every detail, from the carefully positioned
green wall to the understated lighting and curated flow. The result is a
space where product, brand, and atmosphere work in unison.

For a project with such a specific look and feel, customizability of
quick-turnaround fixtures is essential. Display Dispensary took a strategic
approach, tailoring its stock systems to meet Zacate’s spatial and
stylistic needs while at the same time providing cost-efficient service
that worked with the project’s timeline.

“What stood out was how well our Dispensary123 system fit into the overall
space,” Sunga said. “Zacate has such a specific and relaxed aesthetic, and
the fact that our fixtures could drop in and still feel intentional was a
huge win. It reinforced that good design doesn’t have to be overly complex;
it just needs to be thoughtful.

“It was also a great reminder of how important it is to align with the
client’s vision early on so every design move feels cohesive,” he added.

As cannabis retail continues to evolve, projects like Zacate set a new
standard not just for design, but also for customer experience. For Display
Dispensary, the project served as the latest reminder of what’s possible
when client and collaborator work together to bring a unique design concept
to life.

Fixtures shape not only the look but also the “feel” of a space. At Zacate,
intentional design translated into measurable value—creating an environment
that encourages longer visits, supports customer trust, and aligns
seamlessly with brand identity. By pairing adaptable fixture systems with a
clear, client-driven vision, Display Dispensary delivered a cost-efficient,
on-brand solution that sets a benchmark for cannabis retail design.
