Lottery winner Gerrit Murray had originally planned to open a store in Lindsay, Ontario, then switched to the Merivale Road location. There was already a call for public comments for a shop there called ABC Cannabis.

But Hobo Cannabis officials say the shop will open under their brand.

The company also has a service agreement with another lottery winner who plans to open a Hobo store in the ByWard Market at 121 Clarence St.

A Hobo shop opened in April 2019 on Bank Street near Gladstone Avenue. It’s one of only three cannabis stores in the city. The store is one of the province’s top performing cannabis stores, with $9.7 million in net sales in its first six months of operation, according to the company.
