The Town of Maple Creek has given approval for a discretionary use pot shop in the community.

At this past Tuesday's town council meeting council approved the location of 32 Pacific Avenue.

Maple Creek Town Administrator Diane Moss said they did have some residents voicing concerns at the meeting.

"We didn't have anyone that wanted to come as a delegation and talk about it, but we had two people that actually sent us letters," she said. "They had concerns about a number of different things."

There is no official name for the new business yet and no immediate timeline for them to be open.

Marijuana becomes legal on October 17th.
