Sparket, Leaf Nation, & Tako Glass
Tako Glass takes pride in keeping it local and supporting other local, small businesses. Sparket is a local dispensary in Port Angeles, WA that has been supporting Tako as an artist and business owner for the past few years. Northwest Leaf is a media publication that highlights local contributers to the cannabis industry. They have recently released a magazine featuring Sparket as a must visit dispensary in the Pacific Northwest.
Sparket not only carries all the best cannabis products, they also carry a large collection of Tako Glass pieces in their shop. If you are local to the Olympic Peninsula you should go check out their products and our glass collection display in their store!
The owners of Sparket have been close friends with Tako for years now and are amazing business owners. We work side by side to aid in one another's business endeavours because we know it is a team effort. Sparket was started by married owners Wendy Buck and Nick Benge nearly 10 years ago and have been providing customers with medical and recreational cannabis ever since.
When you walk into their shop, you will notice their stunning Pacific Northwest inspired decor. The decor was inspired by the nature out on the Olympic Peninsula with orca whale paintings, a snowboard chandalier, and other artistic components from natural materials.
The Sparket team loves sharing their knowledge of cannabis with customers in a way that makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable with asking questions. Their goals are always to facilitate the highest quality experience for their customers and carry clean, quality products to match those expectations. Sparket has taken the time to get to know their farmers and customers on a personal level so they can provide the best service in the biz while forming friendships.
