Our Story
From Grocery Store to Recreational Cannabis Shop in Toronto
The Kensary has had roots in the Kensington Market & Little Manila neighbourhoods for over forty years. What began as a family-owned grocery store in the heart of the market during the 1980’s has now been transformed into a brand-new Toronto cannabis shop. Our products may have changed but our honest & friendly approach to serving the neighbourhood is exactly the same.
Growing up in Kensington Market, we were immersed in all of the culture and community-spirit the neighbourhood has to offer. The Kensary is our way of adapting to the communities we love, by providing the products they love. Cannabis has long been ingrained in the essence of Kensington Market, so it is now our pleasure to be able to offer a safe, legal, and welcoming home for all of your cannabis needs.
Our Team
Friendly and Familiar Service of Cannabis and Fine Edibles
In the spirit of keeping it local our budtenders both live and work in the neighbourhood so you can feel good about your money staying within your community. The Kensary is a family-owned and operated Toronto cannabis store, with decades of experience prioritizing customer service.
Your first time walking in, you can feel relaxed knowing our staff are dedicated to providing a friendly & helpful experience. If you have questions, our trained budtenders can offer valuable insight without overwhelming you.
