A Guide to Cannabis Retail in West Edmonton

The west end of Edmonton has its own rhythm. It’s where families settle, where the suburbs blend into older established neighbourhoods, and where the commute home runs along Whitemud, Yellowhead, or 118 Avenue. For west-end residents looking for a licensed cannabis retailer close to home, here’s what to know.

Elevate’s west-end location sits at 14454 118 Avenue NW, on the north side of the avenue just east of 144 Street. The store serves a wide west-end catchment with dedicated parking on site, a daytime schedule, and the same selection and standard as the downtown store.

The neighbourhoods this store serves

The 118 Avenue store sits at the intersection of several west-end Edmonton neighbourhoods. The immediate area includes High Park, Canora, and Britannia Youngstown, with reach into Sherbrooke, Glenwood, Mayfield, West Jasper Place, and the larger surrounding catchment.

For customers in High Park, Canora, and Britannia Youngstown, the store is the closest licensed cannabis retailer for most addresses in these neighbourhoods. A short drive or a manageable walk depending on where you live in the catchment.

For customers in Sherbrooke, Glenwood, and Mayfield, the store is a few minutes by car along 118 Avenue or via the surrounding north-south routes.

For customers in West Jasper Place, Woodcroft, Dovercourt, and Inglewood, the store is within a short drive along the 118 Avenue corridor or through the surrounding residential streets.

For customers in Prince Charles, Prince Rupert, McQueen, and North Glenora, the store is accessible from the east via 118 Avenue.

For anyone heading home from the West Edmonton Mall area, a quick drive north along 142 Street puts you within range of the store.

Getting there

By car, the store is easy to reach from Whitemud Drive via 142 Street, from Yellowhead Trail via 142 Street or 156 Street, or directly along 118 Avenue from either direction. Elevate has dedicated parking on site.

Several ETS bus routes serve the 118 Avenue corridor. Route details available through the ETS trip planner.

Bike racks are available near the storefront. The 118 Avenue corridor connects to the wider Edmonton cycling network through several north-south routes.

Hours

Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm.
Saturday, 12pm to 5pm.
Sunday, closed.

A daytime schedule that fits errands, lunch breaks, and stops on the way home from work for customers on a regular west-end routine.

What to bring

Government-issued photo ID may be requested at the counter upon entry/before purchase. The legal age to purchase cannabis in Alberta is eighteen, and licensed retailers are required to verify age before entry or purchase. ID requirements apply to anyone entering the store, including someone accompanying a customer.

A debit card, credit card, or cash works for purchase.

The selection

The west-end store carries the full range of regulated cannabis formats: flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, concentrates, edibles, beverages, topicals, and accessories.

The Elevate selection includes products from local Alberta licensed producers alongside the brands carried nationally. Both premium and value options across categories. The shelves are stocked with intention, not by national-chain template.

Budtenders are trained on the products and the regulations. Customers can ask about formats, brands, the information on a regulated label, or anything else about licensed cannabis retail in Alberta. Real answers, no pressure.

For customers who’d rather browse before visiting, the live menu is one click away, age verification required.

Why a locally owned store matters in the west end

The west end of Edmonton has plenty of cannabis retail. Chains compete on price, scale, and inventory turnover. A locally owned store competes differently, by knowing the products, knowing the customers, and being part of the neighbourhood the long way.

Elevate has been operating in west Edmonton since 2018. The store is owned and operated by Edmontonians. The team is trained to the same standard at both Elevate locations, and the selection is chosen carefully rather than stocked by corporate template.

For west-end customers who’d rather support a locally owned retailer, that’s the difference.
