As cannabis shops start to pop up around Mississauga, some seem to be taking advantage of Oakville’s ban on the bud to bring in more customers.

Since the City of Mississauga voted to lift a longstanding ban on cannabis shops on April 19 this year, the applications have been rolling in.

By May 2, there were five applications for cannabis shops in Mississauga.

Pop’s Cannabis was the first to open on May 26 at the Clarkson Crossing Mall.

And as of July 4, 21 shops were applying for or already authorized to open in Mississauga.

The City of Mississauga was one of several communities to opt out of allowing cannabis shops back in 2019. Neighbouring community Oakville is still a holdout, which may be why three of the shops approved to open are near the border.

Along with Pop’s, Buzzed Buds at 1375 Southdown Rd. is now open and both are near Oakville. And Flowertown Cannabis at 2425 Truscott Dr. Suite 6, planning to open July 14, is also near the border. Three other shops have applications in progress in the Erin Mills area.

Buzzed Buds, which just held its grand opening on June 30, is courting Oakville customers, offering a legal delivery service.

“We are thrilled to provide the first licensed delivery service to Mississauga and our neighbours in Oakville, Ontario, where cannabis retail is still disallowed, with direct access to our full selection of cannabis flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles, drinks and wellness products,” Buzzed Buds said in a press release.

But if all the applications are approved and the shops open, cannabis shops will be spread throughout Mississauga.

Several applications are “in progress” with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) meaning they are in the beginning stages. Those in the “public notice phase” are applications seeking comment from the public. Once that phase is complete, the application is reviewed and it’s either rejected or authorized to open.
