A Cannabis Store Near MacEwan University

Elevate Downtown sits at 10604 105 Avenue NW, right across the street from MacEwan University on the line where Edmonton’s Downtown meets Midtown. For students, staff, and central Edmonton residents looking for a licensed cannabis retailer within walking, transit, or biking distance, the location is one of the most accessible in the city core.

Here’s what to know about visiting.

Getting there from MacEwan

The store is directly across 105 Avenue from the MacEwan campus. A short walk from any of the main campus buildings, with the storefront visible from the north side of campus.

MacEwan University LRT station is right next to campus, which puts the store within a short walk of anyone arriving by transit from across the city. Several ETS bus routes also run along the 105 Avenue corridor, with the Kingsway and Royal Alexandra LRT stations accessible to the north.

The 105 Avenue bike route runs directly past the storefront, connecting downtown to Westmount and the river valley trail system. Bike racks are available near the entrance.

For customers driving in, Elevate has dedicated parking on site. A real convenience in the central core, where most retailers send customers to metered street parking or paid lots.

Neighbourhoods within walking distance

The downtown store serves a wide catchment across central Edmonton. The immediate neighbourhood is Queen Mary Park, with Central McDougall to the east and Westmount to the west. The store is also within easy reach of the downtown core, Oliver, McCauley, Boyle Street, and Ice District.

That makes it a practical stop for MacEwan students who live or study in central Edmonton, downtown workers commuting through the north end after work, residents of Queen Mary Park and Central McDougall and Westmount, visitors heading to or from Ice District events, and anyone in the central core who’d rather walk, bus, or bike than drive.

Hours

Monday to Thursday, 9am to 9pm.
Friday, 9am to 10pm.
Saturday, 10am to 10pm.

Open later than most cannabis retailers in the area, which makes the downtown store a practical option for evening visits after work or class.

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. Standard practice for any age-restricted retail environment in the province.

A debit card, credit card, or cash works for purchase. ID requirements apply equally to anyone entering the store, including someone accompanying a customer.

What’s inside

The downtown store carries the full range of regulated cannabis formats available in Alberta: flower, pre-rolls, vape cartridges, concentrates, edibles, beverages, topicals, and accessories. The selection includes products from local Alberta licensed producers alongside the brands carried nationally, with both premium and value options across categories.

Budtenders at Elevate are trained on the products and the regulations. Customers visiting for the first time can ask about formats, brands, the information on a regulated label, or how licensed cannabis retail works in Alberta. Real answers, no pressure.

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