A second application for a private pot shop in London has been filed with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

A filing on the agency’s website shows the application comes cannabis producer Tweed Inc.

Word broke Thursday that cannabis company Canopy Growth and Quebec convenience store giant Couche-Tard were teaming up to support the location at 1025 Wellington Rd — that’s the same plaza that’s home to Chapters and David’s Bridal.

Londoners have until March 7 to file objections or a submission about the application through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
