Cannabis retail store at YXS not going forward

Dec 20, 2022 | 12:00 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George Airport says a new cannabis retail store will not be proceeding as planned.

The new store was planned to open to domestic travellers and the public next spring. However, Cloudbreak Cannabis recently announced that they would not be signing a lease or beginning construction, citing changing market conditions.

“We had planned to announce the start of construction in the airport this fall, and are both surprised and disappointed at the change in plans,” says Prince George Airport Authority’s CEO Gordon Duke.

“We’ve worked closely with our airport partners and the owners of Cloudbreak Cannabis since they approached us with their business plan three years ago. The owners had met all of their regulatory requirements and were set to begin construction this year.

The airport says the end of the potential lease agreement with Cloudbreak Cannabis means that there is a prime, vacant space available at the Prince George Airport.
