Burb Gets Green Light For 8th Cannabis Store, Cannabis Retail Store To Open On University Campus

Burb Cannabis Corp. received final approval from Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD) Board of Directors to open a cannabis retail store at the University of British Columbia, marking its eighth location in British Columbia, the maximum allowable per the province's current retail cap for any single brand.

"This was a big victory for us after a contentious debate around public safety and community fit," John Kaye, CEO and co-founder at Burb said. "Despite concerns grounded in age-old stigma from nearby residents, many of whom were off-shore residential owners, the Board made an informed decision that aligned with the overwhelming voice of the student body as well as the tenets of legalization in our country.”

Along with its BC-based retail portfolio, Burb also announced early wholesale success in California, with its consumer packaged goods business scaling to more than 50 stores in just a couple of months since launch. The brand's premium dried flower products can now be found at leading retailers across the state including Cookies, Harborside, Urbn Leaf, Mainstage, Dr. Greenthumb, Emjay and many others.
