Buying cannabis as a part of the shopping routine has become a reality. Cannabis retailers are on a quest to find spaces beside standalone shops to give customers easy access to products. But the real challenge for retailers is getting the sites licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) that ensures compliance with the Cannabis Licence Act 2018. Retail owners need experienced service providers to expedite design and build of the retail sites to meet licensure and accreditation requirements.
This is where EN2 comes into play. It is a premier construction company specializing in commercial retail, hospitality, and cannabis markets in Canada. It helps retailers obtain AGCO accreditation by making storefronts ready for inspection within 15 days. Its state-of-the-art planning and designing services are coupled with an extensive range of full-service turnkey general contractor services for constructing cannabis dispensaries, grow rooms, and retail outlets.
“Our proficiency in designing and building commercial spaces enables us to provide smarter and faster results with accountability and integrity. This ensures our customers are able to sell cannabis in a safe, responsible, and lawful manner,” says Nuno Nascimento, partner and COO of EN2 Development Corp.
Leveraging two decades of expertise in general contracting services, the boutique firm, with its proficient team of project managers, architects, engineers, and designers, is a one-stop shop for building bespoke retail facilities. Its indigenous solutions and building strategies enable it to plug- and-play its interior design millwork pieces across retail outlets and storage facilities. The in-depth understanding of the requisites for AGCO’s inspection enables EN2 to deliver projects on time, facilitating a store’s commercialization as quickly as possible.

One of EN2’s clients, Dutch Love, an established pub chain, wanted to enter the world of cannabis retailing. Their unique selling proposition was to employ a sales assistant at the storefront and design a sleek-looking interior. EN2 helped achieve this by designing a modern interior within six weeks. It backed it up with regular maintenance of the outlet, ensuring optimal productivity while improving the brand’s reputation. Impressed with the work done for the storefront, Dutch Love entrusted EN2 with renovating the interiors of its pubs.
Building on a culture of innovation, versatile engineering solutions, and new building techniques, EN2 continues to surpass client expectations. Cannabis distributors seeking top-notch construction management and creation of the perfect store from vision to reality, can count on EN2’s ability to deliver modern designs that reinvent the shopping experience.
