MOUNT LAUREL, NJ – In just their first year in Mount Laurel, Nirvana cannabis dispensary has made its mark for providing an inviting atmosphere and a range of high-quality products for customers.
Nirvana opened its doors in April 2024 to provide a “zen-like” experience for customers looking for a calming environment. In fact, the dispensary was designed to change the traditional perception of dispensaries, creating a modern, elegant, and inclusive environment.
During this first year, Nirvana has been recognized for its focus on customer experience, cannabis education, and product quality.
“In just one year, Nirvana has built a strong reputation for quality, customer service, and innovative store design,” said founder of Nirvana, Dr. Jessy Vikani. “The dispensary has grown a loyal customer base and received positive media recognition. It has also successfully positioned itself as a leader in cannabis education and community engagement.”
Dr. Vikani says that the store is more than just a dispensary—it’s an experience.
“From its carefully curated aesthetic and warm ambiance to personalized customer service, Nirvana challenges traditional dispensary stereotypes. The store’s design, led by Jessy, creates a space that feels welcoming, high-end, and sophisticated. “Additionally, as a female-owned business, Nirvana stands out for its focus on inclusivity and community engagement,” said Dr. Vikani.
Nirvana’s aesthetics break away from conventional dispensary stereotypes, offering a sophisticated space with curated art, strategic lighting, and a seamless shopping experience. The store prioritizes customer well-being and comfort, ensuring that the shopping experience is educational and pressure-free.
“The cannabis industry remains largely male-dominated, which presents challenges in securing funding, establishing credibility, and navigating regulatory processes,” said Dr. Vikani, who believes that women have had to work twice as hard to break through industry barriers.
“Being a woman in the cannabis industry means breaking expectations every day. I want to show that women can lead, innovate, and create spaces that change the way people experience cannabis,” said Dr. Vikani. “Women bring a different perspective to business. We focus on community, on education, on the experience. Nirvana is proof that when you prioritize people, success follows.”
By leading by example, she wants to show that women can succeed in both the business and operational aspects of cannabis retail. She also prioritizes hiring and mentoring women, helping to create a more diverse and equitable industry, as evidenced by the strong female presence on the Nirvana team.
“Representation matters. When women see other women leading, they realize they belong in these spaces too. My goal is to create opportunities, not just for myself but for others who dream of making an impact in this industry,” Vikani noted.
Given her background in the pharmacy industry, Dr. Vikani has been able to create Nirvana with a more scientific and education-driven approach to cannabis retail. She ensures that customers receive proper guidance on product selection, dosage, and effects, making Nirvana a trusted resource for both new and experienced consumers. Her focus on quality control and product
As Nirvana celebrates its first year in business, they have a goal of expanding its product offerings, enhancing the customer experience through technology and education, and potentially opening new locations. Dr. Vikani is committed to continuing to innovate within the industry while maintaining the high standards that set Nirvana apart.
Nirvana cannabis dispensary is located at 1134 Route 73 in Mount Laurel.
