The Refinery at Domino Welcomes the World’s First Cannabis Concept Store, Gotham

Gotham, the world’s first cannabis concept store, has opened their new Brooklyn location. The expansive 4,000 square foot storefront is located in the heart of Williamsburg on Kent Avenue and South 2nd Street in The Refinery at Domino, operated by Brooklyn-based, family-owned real estate development firm Two Trees Management.

Merging lifestyle, community, and culture, the woman-owned Gotham is the first retailer to operate at The Refinery and officially opened its doors to the public this fall, just one month after Gotham debuted their latest venture, Gotham Hudson. The Williamsburg store will offer in-person shopping and in-store pick-up and expand the brand’s delivery radius to a new borough.

Gotham New York is also known for their in-store community and brand collaboration events like the Upside Pizza ‘Gotham Gardens’ Block Party,  ICECREAM x Gotham 420 Experience, or Gotham x Landmark Pop-up Exhibit and soon-to-come Gotham Williamsburg location. More on that below!

Opening Night

We joined them for the opening night of their new location at The Refinery at Domino in earlier this month. They marked the expansion of their community to Brooklyn with a bash that lit up their new outpost in their beautifully curated new space. To kick off the night, Founder Joanne Wilson held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially mark the moment. Throughout the night guests mingled with Gotham’s industry-leading budtenders to beats by DJ Bobby Trends.

Attendees included tastemakers and brand partners from across industries. Among Gotham’s partners in attendance were: beauty guru, Sophie Pavitt, whose products are carried across Gotham’s locations; artist Evan Paul English, whose floral murals grace every store from the Bowery to Hudson, NY, and now Brooklyn; and Mike Eckhaus, co-founder of fashion label Eckhaus Latta, fresh off their NYFW collaboration with the cannabis brand.

Interior Design

Adjacent to bustling Domino Park and the newly opened Domino Square at the vibrant waterfront, Gotham Domino’s inviting arched windows draw patrons in for an unforgettable retail experience, which is anchored around a breathtaking, custom tree installation designed by interdisciplinary artist Molly Lowe, long-time collaborator, and friend of the brand who has constructed distinctive trees for the interiors of each Gotham storefront. A wide array of materials in dazzling shades of green cascade down from the branches on the ceiling, emulating a willow tree.

Gotham Meets Cannabis

Beneath the tree’s canopy sits Gotham’s carefully curated cannabis selection featuring the finest in premium flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vape pens, and live resin with expert sales associates at the ready to assist and educate clientele to provide the best experience for anyone stopping in.

To celebrate the Williamsburg launch, Gotham has debuted ‘Sugarhigh,’ a limited-edition, white sugar cube edible inspired by the iconic Domino Sugar Factory. Created with New York-based brand Off Hours, ‘Sugar High’ is available only at Gotham locations.

Gotham Meets Lifestyle

It doesn’t stop there, the open shelving on the perimeter of the store displays the brand’s highly-curated selection of lifestyle, beauty, and fashion products — including home decor, glassware, fragrances, skincare, accessories, and more, all hand-selected by Gotham. Featured brands include Eckhaus Latta, Collina Strada, Carne Bollente, Porter Yoshida, Jungles Jungles, Extra Vitamins, and more, available alongside Gotham’s own line of products which include candles, topicals, wearable merchandise, and more.
