Montreal’s executive-committee member responsible for economic development, Robert Beaudry, announced Monday that the four locations for the first cannabis outlets have been chosen. The locations will be managed by the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ).

The exact addresses have not yet been announced but they will be located near Berri-UQÀM, Radisson, Jean-Talon and Lionel-Groulx métro stations. These shops will be the first to open once the country confirms the legalization date. Four more outlets will be added in Montreal following the initial launch date according to Beaudry.

The announcement follows the SAQ’s announcement last month that the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQC) will open 20 outlets across the province. It’s expected that there will be 100 outlets across Quebec after three years, with the option to increase that number if there is the demand for it.

A significant portion of the sales will also be online, according to Beaudry.

Each outlet will be approximately 2,000 square feet and the products will be kept behind a counter. The age of consumption in Quebec will be 18, the same as their legal drinking age.
