All Société québécoise du cannabis retail outlets will be open on Wednesday starting this week, a spokesperson for the provincial cannabis retailer said.

While SQDC stores were originally opened seven days a week, that was reduced to a four-day schedule — Thursday through Sunday — nine days after stores opened, because of supply shortages, the SQDC said at the time.

In January, the Crown corporation launched a “pilot project” that saw three stores open on Wednesdays. That was expanded to the Ste-Catherine St. location in Montreal earlier this month.

Now, the SQDC says all stores will open on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

“The pilot project was a success,” said Fabrice Giguère, the SQDC’s spokesperson. “Supply is improving week after week.”

Supply issues have affected recreational cannabis retailers in other provinces as well as medical users since legalization.

In December, the SQDC began a process to find additional suppliers, however that process is still continuing.
