17 cannabis stores to open in Alberta Oct. 17, none in Red Deer Oct 4, 2018 4:36 PM

The number of retail cannabis locations set to open their doors in Red Deer on October 17 is not very high.

In fact, there will be zero, and that’s despite the The City of Red Deer having already approved 10 retail cannabis development permits.

On Thursday, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission announced that come 10/17, 17 stores will open across the province.

That number includes six in Edmonton and two in Calgary, plus other locations in Stony Plain, Medicine Hat, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove and St. Albert.
