Pineapple Xpress Smoke Shop

Pineapple Xpress Smoke Shop has built a real name for itself in Houston, and it shows the moment you walk in. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the store is always clean, well lit, and easy to get around, which is a small thing that a lot of shops overlook but makes a real difference when you're browsing vapes, e-liquid, or hookah and shisha gear. What really gets talked about around Houston, though, is the staff.

Regulars ask for Lane by name and call him "my boy" at this point, Dillon and Dylan both get credit for going above and beyond, and Kat, Kevin, and Rudy all come up again and again as the reason people keep coming back instead of driving somewhere else. Folks from the Heights area in particular say they wouldn't shop anywhere else, and even out-of-towners have made a point of saying they'll be back on their next visit. That kind of consistency across so many different staff members says a lot about how the shop is run.

Worth keeping in mind, but it hasn't stoped this from being one of the highest-rated smoke shops around, and it's easy to see why so many people treat it as their regular stop.
