Five of the eight stores shown first for Welland are on one street, Niagara Street, at numbers 37, 545, 623, 905 and 960. The city's council decided to allow private cannabis stores on January 15, 2019, after an online survey of residents closed on January 5 and a committee meeting on January 8, according to Niagara Now.
Verdex lists 12 AGCO-authorized stores. You must be 19 to buy, and the Ontario Cannabis Store supplies every shop, so the comparison is location, service and price. None of the 12 has a Verdex rating yet, so the practical choice is between doors on the same road.

With so many shops in a short stretch, Niagara Street is a place where price comparisons are easy. Check the total for the same product across two doors, and look for the authorization certificate at each. The licence guide explains what it should show.
