More retail cannabis licenses granted across Alberta; two more come to GP
Competition in the retail cannabis market is about to pick up in the Swan City.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis has released more licenses to sell cannabis across the province, including two in Grande Prairie, which went the Canna Cabana and Peaceleaf. That now makes three licenses granted in the city, as Lucky Leaf had been the lone licensee since the legalization of recreational marijuana use back in October.
It’s been a long time coming for Peaceleaf Owner and Vice President Roberto Lopez, who first applied for a retail license through AGLC back in May of 2018 in anticipation of legalization. But with a severe lack of supply from producers across the country, AGLC had suspended accepting new applications, while also halting the issuing of new licenses. That left businesses like Peaceleaf hanging.
