Sasha Soeterik, the owner of independent cannabis retail shop Flower Pot in downtown Toronto, was renovating her premises in preparation to open in the spring of 2020 when she noticed a competitor doing the same just two doors away.
The rival shop was part of a national chain of cannabis stores – Superette – that already had two locations in downtown Toronto, and had secured licences from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to open another five stores within a radius of less than 10 kilometres.
It is ludicrous, new pot outlets are sprouting like weeds.
Go incognito.
