A New Twist on Cannabis

Four Twenty Bank is a modern revitalization of a once-dilapidated building that sat vacant for over 23 years. After investing over two years of time, we have completely restored this once-prestigious place of business into an onsite cannabis consumption lounge, dispensary, and epic event venue. The very first of its kind! Entrepreneurs Nolan Moore and Julie Montante have merged their brilliant minds and successful business expertise to create this truly unique experience. They have deliberately chosen to break the stereotype of the typical cannabis consumer and elevate the minds of the public. They have set out to broaden the horizon and aim for a new concept. The influx of a vibrant demographic to the downtown Palm Springs area makes this the absolute perfect location to introduce such a groundbreaking business. Unlike anything you have experienced, the Four Twenty Bank dispensary and concert lounge offers a wide range of products, including a full assortment of sodas, cocktails, beer, and wine that contain zero alcohol and are CBD- and THC-infused. We carry all the top brands of cannabis, from King Garden to Cookies. On offer: the desert’s largest array of pre-rolls, live rosin, wax, oils, enriched lotions and creams, vape pens, and cartridges. With the cannabis community being fully accepted in the desert region, we feel the creation of this experience will be beneficial to the community as a whole! Oh, and wait for the mixology robots! Working side by side with local professionals and the city of Palm Springs, we have strived to exceed every request the city had regarding ventilation and social distancing in this location so as to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all patrons. The custom filtration system is designed to create a unique airflow designed to pull fresh air into the building while lifting out smoke and purifying it before exiting the extended vents. The major overhaul of this 17,000+-square-foot landmark includes double glass entry doors maintained at all times by security specialists, three oversized chandeliers that each have over 4,000 hanging crystals, and customized rolling display cases to make this space adaptable to concerts and special events, when allowed. Upstairs, private rooms and Sky Suites are available for member-hosted affairs and invitation-only parties, with exclusive access reserved for VIP guests. Also available is office space for rent. By combining the consumption lounge and dispensary with a concert and arts experience, we aim to become a staple of the community. The opportunity to work with many local performers and feature artists is beyond exciting. Four Twenty Bank also has a limited number of Private Label Society Memberships that will have priority access to the event calendar, plus many other benefits. Four Twenty Bank also envisions building a business model that can be applied to other unique properties in other major cities across the world! While we eagerly await the delight of opening our doors during these unprecedented times, we continue to move forward every day with goals for this founding location.
