Marking more than three weeks since legalization, Brandon’s first cannabis dispensary is slated to open on Thursday.

Tweed, located at 2705 Victoria Ave., will open its doors to the public at 10 a.m.

The joint venture between Canopy Growth Corp. in Ontario and Delta 9 in Winnipeg is the first of at least five stores that are expected to open in Brandon.

A second store, from Tokyo Smoke in partnership with Brandon’s B.O.B. Headquarters, is expected to open at 628 18th St. by Nov. 21, a spokesperson for Tokyo Smoke said.

Tokyo Smoke merged this year with DOJA Cannabis Co. to form the brand Hiku and was later acquired by Canopy Growth.

Delta 9 has plans to open a separate store of its own in downtown Brandon, while National Access Cannabis Corp. is working on a retail outlet, under the retail name Meta Cannabis Supply Co., at 930 18th St.

Garden Variety — a consortium of Avana Canada Inc., Fisher River Cree Nation, Chippewas of the Thames, MediPharm Labs Inc. and retailer Native Roots Dispensary — is expected to open a retail outlet in Brandon next year.
