SPIRITLEAF
Spiritleaf has opened an impressive 100 locations in Canada this past summer, with stores located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

In 2017, their hybrid Pink Kush won the Canadian Cannabis Cup for best strain and again in 2019 for best indica.
Choom
Choom began in the back of a van in 1979 with a group of friends on a small Hawaiian island. Back then, it was about having a good time with friends. Now, 43 years later, they are a well-known cannabis retailer. The brand currently operates around 17 dispensaries between Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta.

Fans may remember them as Hobo Cannabis; after some controversy, they changed their name to Dutch Love. The Donnelly Group (a parent company that owns many nightclubs and taverns in Vancouver) owns the Dutch Love chain. However, you can find Dutch Love locations in Alberta, BC, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
Dutch Love brands its self as your neighbourhood flower shoppe. True to the mantra, Dutch Love cannabis shops don’t display many — or any — cannabis products. Instead, shelves are full of accessories. Budtenders keep bud behind the desk. They are there to help you find whatever you need. Dutch Love has also teamed up with brands like Ace Valley to offer co-branded tote bags found in stores.
Fire and Flower
Fire & Flower is one of Canada’s largest cannabis chains. While the head office is in Alberta, Fire & Flower has locations in Ontario, Saskatchewan and the Yukon.
