One of the first legal cannabis stores in Ontario will carry the name of Tweed, the cannabis grower in Smiths Falls.

A pot-shop lottery winner has applied to open a store in London called Tweed, according to a notice posted Thursday by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Residents and the municipality have 15 days to comment on the proposed location, which is in a strip mall at 1025 Wellington Rd., unit A2.

Canopy Growth Corporation, Tweed’s parent company, said in a news release Thursday night that it has teamed up with Quebec retail chain Couche-Tard. Canopy signed a multi-year agreement with Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. for a partnership, the release said.

Couche-Tard has a trademark licence agreement with the lottery winner. The lottery winner will have full ownership and control over the store, said the release. Alimentation Couche-Tard will rely on Canopy Growth’s cannabis expertise, said the release.
