Globe says Canopy, others get look at N.S. retail plans

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Nova Scotia has unveiled what is believed to be the only retail model in the world that combines liquor sales with recreational cannabis under one roof. The Globe's Jessica Leeder writes that a dozen of the hybrid stores, operated by the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. (NSLC), will be open for business on Oct. 17, when recreational cannabis officially becomes legal in Canada. Each store will sell cannabis separately from alcohol in what is essentially a restricted-access boutique retrofitted into some of NSLC's stores. They feature trendy design elements such as wood-like panels and sleek tiled surfaces, but are designed in compliance with federal regulations that make it unlawful for underagers, meaning those under the age of 19 in Nova Scotia, to see or be inside the store. Shoppers will enter the cannabis sales area -- located at the rear of the NSLC stores where possible -- through a discreet entrance lined with white subway tile and frosted glass. Once inside, customers will be greeted by a "host," who will make what NSLC officials call a "triage assessment" to determine whether they know what they want and can step into the lineup at the sales counter.
