After a decade of delivering the highest quality cannabis-related products to their growing clientele, the Lincoln City Collective has expanded. From its flagship location in the south end of town to its newest north location, the collective is looking to deliver high caliber merchandise and sought-after service to a wider audience.
“We wanted to be able to service the north end of Lincoln City as well as Otis in addition to our location in Taft,” Dylan Watts, Manager of the Lincoln City Collective North location said. “We spent an ample amount of time improving and redesigning the space in order to make it a beautiful dispensary for the community.”
The location is just that: beautiful. Nestled next to the Olde Standard Barber Shop, the collective’s long windows are trailed by massive, decorative white ferns beneath golden letters proudly spelling out “Lincoln City Collective” across frosted glass, offering a clean look that also provides privacy.
“So many clients come in and describe the space as nice, bright, clean and beautiful,” Watts said. “We really love and appreciate getting feedback from people about the space we took so much time to create.”
Walking into the shop, you are immediately greeted by ambient glowing neon signs reading
“Fresh Flower” in green and “Baked Goods” in brilliant purple. The music is upbeat, with tunes easy to dance to while lingering through what the display cases have to offer. The impressive selection ranges from the flower, for which they are highly esteemed, CBD edibles and drinks, tinctures, all the way to the latest CBG (cannabigerol) products.
“We are known for our amazing selection but flower is really our passion,” Watts said. “Cultivating a flower menu that is ever-changing but will always impress at every price point is something you can always depend on us for.”
Just as the collective highlights the best cannabis products Oregon has to offer, the store also exhibits the area’s pool of creative talent.
“We worked to collaborate with some of the best local artisans to make a special and unique place that really feels like Oregon,” Watts said. “We wanted to include mushrooms, the river teeth, ferns, fish boxes and living plants to embody the coastal vibe we all love so much. We are proud to carry art by local artists like Ben Soeby, Touch of Whimsy and Thorn Meadow.”
From the top-notch product to the exceptional customer service and extensive knowledge, it is no wonder Lincoln City Collective is at the top of its game.
“Our goal is always to bring the highest quality and take pride in what Oregon has to offer,” Watts said. “We want to continue to showcase the best flower and products available which is what we excel in and hope to bring to the north end of town.”
As the de-stigmatization of cannabis continues to grow, so too does the medical research surrounding the plant. While all of the information can be overwhelming at first, the staff at Lincoln City Collective truly understands how to take the intimidation out of the experience.
“It’s important to us to create a space of care, education and being approachable to whoever walks in,” Watts said. “With every interaction, our aim is to cater to the needs of the individual–whether that’s pain management, PTSD, insomnia, or for recreational use. Having the care to curate the highest quality while offering hospitality is something we are proud of.”
In the same way this business paid close attention to every detail of the building’s design, this same culture also spans to every other facet of the business. Whether it is their diligent process of selecting the best products at the best price, taking the time to build close relationships with their clients or hiring a wonderful staff, this top-rated business continues to prove themselves in every facet.
