The Green Nugget, a cannabis dispensary serving Eastern Washington, has been named the #2 Best Dispensary in Spokane in The Inlander's Best of Readers Poll for 2026. The recognition, driven by direct customer feedback, highlights the company's commitment to providing an exceptional retail experience across its three locations in Spokane, Mead, and Pullman.
Each year, The Inlander's Best of Readers Poll invites residents to vote for their favorite local businesses. For The Green Nugget, this award is a testament to the relationships built with customers and the consistent effort to serve at the highest level. Martina Schmidt, Marketing Manager for The Green Nugget, stated, "We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as one of the Best Dispensaries in Spokane. This award belongs to our customers just as much as it does to our team. Their support, feedback, and loyalty are what drive us every single day."
The Green Nugget's success is rooted in a customer-first approach, emphasizing education and a welcoming atmosphere. Its team of knowledgeable budtenders provides personalized guidance, helping customers navigate a wide range of cannabis products. The company prioritizes ongoing education to keep staff informed about industry trends and innovations, which customers frequently cite as a reason for their loyalty.
The dispensary offers a curated selection of products from trusted brands, including premium flower, concentrates, edibles, and vapes. The Green Nugget works closely with producers to ensure quality and availability while introducing new and trending items to keep the menu fresh. This commitment allows customers to explore products with confidence, whether seeking top-shelf or budget-friendly options.
Affordability is another key pillar, with competitive daily deals available online and in-store. These promotions provide real value through discounts on popular categories, brand specials, or limited-time offers. Customers can browse deals ahead of time on The Green Nugget's online menu or get recommendations from budtenders.
The Green Nugget operates three convenient locations across Eastern Washington. The Spokane flagship store serves as a hub for locals and visitors, while the Mead location offers medical, DOH-compliant cannabis products and medical card certification. The Pullman location caters to the Palouse community, including students at Washington State University.
Beyond retail, The Green Nugget is committed to community engagement, supporting local organizations and fostering a positive relationship between the cannabis industry and the public. As the legal cannabis market evolves, the company focuses on growth and innovation while staying true to its core values of expertise, value, and community.
This award from The Inlander marks a milestone for The Green Nugget, but the company sees it as a stepping stone toward greater achievements. Plans include investing in the team, strengthening relationships with top brands, and expanding its reach. Schmidt added, "Our goal has always been to create a dispensary experience that people genuinely enjoy and trust. Winning this award shows us that we’re on the right track, and we’re excited to keep growing with our community."
