TORONTO’S 1ST SECOND CUP TURNED CANNABIS STORE OPENS

Located at 1703 Avenue Rd., the new weed store was popularly known as a Second Cup location. 

Another six stores are slated to open across Ontario by the end of the year. 

Some of these locations include other former Second Cup stores, such as 518 Eglinton Ave. W., Toronto and 171 Rideau St., Ottawa. 

The company states that they will have trained "budtenders" in all stores that will be able to help customers find the exact product that they are searching for.
