City of Vancouver issues sixth cannabis retail operator business licence

THE City of Vancouver has issued its sixth cannabis retail business licence to Muse located at 3039 Granville Street.

The following six locations are now licensed to operate a retail cannabis store in Vancouver:

– Muse Cannabis Store: 3039 Granville Street

– Hobo: 8425 Granville Street

– Hobo: 4296 Main Street

– Evergreen Cannabis: 2868 West 4th Avenue

– City Cannabis Co.: 610 Robson Street

– City Cannabis Co.: 7289 Fraser Street

Receipt of a municipal business licence is the final step for cannabis retail outlets to legally operate a cannabis retail store in Vancouver. Cannabis retail outlets must also hold a municipal development permit and a provincial cannabis retail licence.

The City says it continues to review applications received from the Province for recommendation of a provincial cannabis licence, and is doing everything possible to coordinate with the Province and the operators to complete these steps quickly.

To date, the City has received 37 notifications from the Province for Vancouver applications. Twenty-six applicants have completed the public notification requirement and have been recommended to the Province for approval.
