Kelowna will soon be home to its first pot shop after Hobo Recreational Cannabis Store announced it will be opening soon.
After receiving rezoning approval by the City of Kelowna in March, the Springfield Road shop has been given the green light by the province this past week.
“We’re bringing B.C. bud (and more) home to one of the planet’s best growing environments in the heart of the Okanagan,” the announcement page on their website reads.
