Are you curious how many cannabis retail stores are in Oshawa? City Councillors receive information from staff on the number of applications to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). As of this week Oshawa has THIRTY-TW0 (32) with 21 stores open, 3 approved but not yet open, and 8 in process with the AGCO.
The first cannabis retail store in Oshawa officially opened late July 2019 - rapid growth to reach approximately 30 stores in 30 months.
Of the 444 municipalities in Ontario about 60 have opted-out of having a cannabis store in their community. Some of the larger municipalities that opted-out are: Mississauga, Oakville, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Newmarket and Whitby.
According to the AGCO website: "Municipalities had until January 22, 2019 to inform the AGCO if they wished to opt out. Municipalities that chose to opt-out can opt-in at any time—but once they are in, they may no longer opt out."
Oshawa does seem to be tracking high when looking at the stats on stores per capita. It would be interesting to know if the fact Whitby opted-out has any bearing on Oshawa's large number of cannabis retailers.
