“Friendly Stranger has been committed to Canadian cannabis culture since we opened over 25 years ago on Queen Street West in Toronto.

I am super excited to see the Friendly Stranger Brand grow like this,” said Robin Ellins, co-founder of Friendly Stranger.
“FSHC has an aggressive growth strategy and opening the doors to cannabis retail locations that are licensed to carry the Friendly Stranger brand is only the beginning. Supporting lottery winners to run legal and successful businesses under our trusted trademarked brand will allow us to do this. We will work closely with the store owners to ensure that community integration and education are top priorities. As one of Canada’s most successful and longest-standing Toronto-based cannabis culture stores, our team will be able to provide the licensees with valuable insights and training so that their locations reflect the goodwill and consistently high standards that Friendly Stranger is associated with,” said James Jesty, President of FSHC.
