Our story
About Elevate
Locally owned cannabis stores, two Edmonton locations — quality knowledge, quality product.
Independent · Edmonton
Open since 2018
One of the longer-tenured independent cannabis retailers in the province — 100% owned and operated in Edmonton by Edmontonians.
Downtown
105 Ave, across from MacEwan — on the Downtown / Midtown line
West End
118 Ave near 144 St — serving the west-end neighbourhoods
Parking
Dedicated parking right in front of each store for your convenience
What we're built around
Quality knowledge.
Quality product.
One idea, plainly stated — bring both to the people of Edmonton.
Quality knowledge
Staff trained to know what's on the shelves — formats, brands, producers, the regulated information on every label, the difference between one cultivar and another, how to read a THC percentage in practice. Real answers to real questions, within legal limits, served up with a little education.
Quality product
Handpicked and specially curated selection of products. A selection chosen with care rather than stocked by template. Elevate works with as many great local Alberta licensed producers as possible, alongside the brands carried nationally — premium and value across every category. Products that don't always show up in every store across the country.
That's the standard. Both stores run to it.
Behind the counter
Neighbourhood retail, not corporate retail
A team trained to the same standard at both locations. The owner is on the floor regularly at both stores, and all of the staff have been with Elevate for years. Customers get recognized when they come back — conversations pick up where they left off.
AGLC SellSafe certified
Required for any cannabis retail employee in Alberta.
Owner on the floor
Regularly, at both stores.
Real product training
Staff know formats and brands without a script.
Coverage
Two neighbourhoods, one standard
Downtown — 105 Ave
Serves central Edmonton and the MacEwan campus area, with reach across the central core. Extended evening hours, transit-served, walkable, dedicated parking.
West End — 118 Ave
Serves the surrounding west-end neighbourhoods, within walking range or a short drive. Daytime hours, easy drive-up from Whitemud, Yellowhead or 118 Ave, dedicated parking.
Same selection. Same standard. Same answers when you ask.
When you visit
A calm, regulated retail environment
Government-issued ID may be requested at the counter upon entry or before purchase — the legal age in Alberta is eighteen, and licensed retailers verify age before entry or purchase. Inside: trained staff, a carefully chosen selection, the standardized cannabis symbol and regulated label on every product.
