Cannabis store ready to open

LEAMINGTON — The Cannabis Retail Store is getting set to open next week in Leamington and they are all set up and ready for business.

Managers Michelle Nesbitt, right, and Heidi Staniforth have about 15 staff hired and trained, hoping to open their doors on the December 10-11 weekend.

The store will offer edibles, beverages, creams, lotions and accessories and of course, consumer cannabis. A local owner group made up of several already-successful business owners, opened the store through a firm belief that a controlled cannabis market eliminates the need for someone to go to the illicit market.

This will be the only store this side of London, that has a ‘live bud’ display and they’ve created a space where everyone can feel comfortable, from the long-time cannabis users to first time buyers. They offer in-store shopping and online ordering through their website thecannabisretailstore.com.

The store is located at 288 Erie Street South, Unit D.
