Brampton might be getting a second cannabis retail store soon.

Kyle Hildebrand was one of 25 people receiving licences in the province’s initial “pot shop lottery” in January, and has applied to Ontario government to open 360 Cannabis at 2933 Queen St. E.

Ganjika House, located at 186 Main St., opened on April 1 and according to owner Clint Seukeran there does not appear to be any shortage of demand in for the product in Canada’s ninth-largest city.

“I learned a lot of people smoke. I’ve learned the spectrum of the consumer is so broad,” he said in a recent interview looking back on the first couple of months of legal retail weed.

According to the AGCO, the only matters of public interest the registrar can consider when reviewing an application include:
