Okanagan’s first government-run cannabis store opens in Penticton

Behind frosted and tinted windows, the Okanagan’s first government-run BC Cannabis Store opened in Penticton, with little fanfare.

The store is located in the Penticton Power Centre shopping mall at 2210 Main Street, Unit 106.

It is the 13th government-run store to open in the province, joining those serving customers in Kamloops, Trail, and Parksville.

Unlike liquor stores, anyone who looks under the age of 30 will be immediately ID’d at the door.

“On the floor, we have 84 different varieties of cannabis,” said BC Cannabis Stores regional manager Tyson Muzzillo, while giving the media a tour before opening to the general public.

The cannabis, price, producer and levels of THC and CBD are all on display.

“Once they’ve made their selection by using this piece of paper, they write down the product name and the SKU, they come up to the counter, and what you’ll notice right away is there is no product available for people to just pick up,” Muzzillo said.

It’s not only dry bud that’s for sale

The store offers a range of Health Canada-approved products including oils, capsules, pre-rolls, and the newly introduced extracts, topicals and edibles.
