Is Eve aware FARMGATE STORES are being approved? | Ontario set to open first farmgate stores despite regulatory reservations |
Ontario is set to open the first retail store located near at the growing operation at a licensed producer next month, even if some pot producers are thinking twice about their own local pot shop.
The farmgate model looks to replicate the one utilized by many of Ontario's vineyards, which have a retail storefront to sell the products made on-site or nearby. Before the pandemic, visiting wineries was a popular practice that drove valuable tourism and hospitality dollars into communities. But some producers are stepping back from their farmgate plans, opting to observe the rollout of the initial stores from afar before deciding if they want to proceed.
Two Ontario-based cannabis producers, Thrive Cannabis and Level Up Infusions, are set to open a retail locations close to their cultivation facilities under a pilot program initiated by the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS), according to Daffyd Roderick, senior director of communications for the provincial Crown corporation. |
