An expansion by Cannabis NB will pave the way for future stores.

A new location recently opened in Grand Falls.

The retailer says it is smaller than others, but still offers the same products.

The new store, located on 180 Madawaska Street,  opened on July 18.

Cannabis NB says the model evolution project will provide more convenience to consumers, better access to safe legal products for customers in New Brunswick, increase revenue for the province, and create jobs in new communities.

The new store will serve to further increase legal access and options for New Brunswick consumers, as Cannabis NB prepares for the launch of a new private retail channel, which will see private retailers open stores under their own brands across the province.

Cannabis NB is currently assessing other locations across the province for new Cannabis NB stores as well as for private retail opportunities and will be sharing more details about these new stores and opportunities in the coming weeks.

Cannabis NB, the only legal retailer of recreational cannabis for the province of New Brunswick, manages retail cannabis sales for the Province of New Brunswick.

It launched with 20 stores in 15 communities and is currently in the process of expanding the store network.
