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.

Niagara Street and the other Welland corners

Along Niagara Street are Paradise Cannabis at 37, Discounted Cannabis at 545, Garden City Cannabis Co at 623, Insalata at 905 (units 1 and 2) and Canna Cabana at 960. Garden City has a second store at 469 East Main Street, Inspired Cannabis Co is at 825 Ontario Road, and Miss Jones is on Lincoln Street. So a car trip along one road puts five shops in reach.

  • Clustering rule: Ontario sets no minimum distance between cannabis stores, only 150 metres from schools.
  • Delivery: shops may deliver only with their own staff; ask before you order.
  • Bigger list nearby: St Catharines has 31 stores.

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.
