CALGARY—Hundreds of hopeful retailers are jockeying for position a month into the race to own a piece of Alberta’s recreational cannabis market.
More than 400 applications have been made since the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) started accepting them on March 6, according to spokesperson Heather Holmen.
The proposed store locations are posted on the AGLC’s website for a 21-day period in which it will consider objections, Holmen explained.
“The addresses (listed online) are proposed, but not confirmed locations until an offer to lease is confirmed, along with approval from the municipality,” she said. “In regards to objections, they are treated confidentially.”
