Tokyo Smoke: Coffee & The Cannabis Lifestyle In Toronto

Canada “could be to cannabis what France is to wine,” Toronto coffee shop owner Alan Gertner said in June. He was speaking at The Economist’s Canada Summit, and the aspirational analogy resonated far and high. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “absolutely disagreed” with Gertner’s assertion—but only because of the high “calibre of Canadian wines,” reported The Huffington Post Canada.

Gertner, who could be described as an entrepreneurial lifestyle futurist with as genteel an appreciation for kind bud as for a well-tailored oxford shirt, is CEO of Tokyo Smoke. He and his father, retail and real estate impresario Lorne Gertner, founded the company, which today runs two Toronto espresso bar boutiques: Tokyo Smoke Found, opened in May 2015, and Tokyo Smoke Green, opened in May 2016.
