You Deserved Better.
So We Made It Happen.

To my incredible 118 Avenue community — first, thank you. Thank you for your loyalty, your kindness, your smiles, and for trusting me to be part of your day, every single day. You have no idea how much that has meant to me and my family.

I want to be honest with you, because that is who I am. There were days — many of them — where I wanted to give you more. More selection. More value. More of the experience you truly deserve. And there were days I simply could not. Not because I didn't want to. But because not every environment allows you to be your best self.

Some Places Look Good on the Outside

I've learned something important in this industry — and in life. A beautiful storefront, a recognizable address, a familiar name on the door… none of that tells you what it actually feels like to work there. None of it tells you whether the people running it truly care about the community they serve — or just the community's dollars.

8658 Is Different. And You'll Feel It.

At 8658 118 Avenue, I am not bound by someone else's vision or someone else's rules. I was a business partner — I brought my heart, my relationships, and my reputation to the table every single day. Now I bring all of that to my own store. And that changes everything.

Every product on our shelf was chosen with you in mind. Every promotion was designed to reward your loyalty — genuinely, not just on paper. And every single day I am here — because this is my home, and you are my family.

My Promise to You

I will never have a bad day that becomes your bad experience. I will never let a difficult moment make you feel anything less than welcome. That was a standard I always tried to hold — and now, in my own space, nothing will ever compromise it.

You didn't just lose a familiar face when things changed. You gained something better — a place built entirely around your experience, your needs, and your community. 8658 isn't just a new address. It's a promise.

I'm Just Down the Street 💛

And here's the thing — I didn't go far. Not even close. 8658 118 Avenue is on the same street, just 2 blocks away. Same neighbourhood. Same community. Same familiar face. I'm not some new store that just showed up. I'm your Mom — and I'm right down the road.

When I found 8658 118 Avenue — I didn't just find a store. I found my territory. This street is home. This community is mine to serve, to protect, and to pour my heart into every single day.

There are people who come and go in this business. Who show up when it's convenient and disappear when it's not. That is not me. I have roots here. My heart is here. And 8658 is where I plant my flag — for good. Rain or shine, slow day or busy day — I will be here.

So come find me. I'm only down the street. And I promise — it'll be worth the walk. 💛

8658 — I Heard You. All of You.

You told me you needed someone open early. So I'm opening at 9:00 AM — for my early Kravers who need to start their day right. And you told me you needed someone still there at the end of the night. So I'm staying open until 11:00 PM — for my late night Kravers who deserve the same great service no matter the hour. I heard you. And 8658 is my answer.

And I have something truly special to share — my daughter is stepping into this journey with me. She is our original buyer, and she has put her heart into building a cannabis selection that is bigger, better, and more carefully chosen than anything we've offered before. She knows what you want. She knows quality. And she's also bringing in a full range of accessories — so everything you need is right here under one roof. This truly is a family store, built by family, for our community. 💛

I cannot wait to see your face walk through our doors on JULY 2026. Come find me. I'll be right here — where I've always wanted to be.

With all my love,

Mom 💛
