Ontario's first province-run pot-shop locations have been unveiled and Toronto's is set to be housed in what is currently a Tim Hortons in Danforth Village.

Like LCBO stores, only those aged 19 and older will be allowed into the stores' main areas. All stores will also be designed with a lobby area, where there won't be any product present.

Inside, customers will find information about various cannabis products, accessories and screens with consumer and health information.

The OCS also plans to roll out an e-commerce option where consumers can purchase cannabis for home delivery.

The LCBO says it is inviting public feedback on how communities might be affected by proposed stores and is set to unveil further locations in the coming months. 

The agencies say the locations comply with local zoning rules, minimize proximity to schools and factor in where illegal
dispensaries are currently operating. 

Forty stores are expected to open this year and another 40 by July of next year. In total, the province plans to set up roughly 150 standalone cannabis stores by 2020.
