“We wanted to do it with a bang,” said part-owner Cindy Pendergast with a laugh. “We wanted it to be the very first legal cannabis delivery in British Columbia history.”
The prohibition-themed store on Beacon Avenue is owned by Pendergast, son Zach Pendergast and husband Brad Styles. It has 11 employees and is licensed by the province and municipality.
