PROHIBITION is proud to have begun as a modest stall and has been a symbol of counterculture in Montreal for more than 35 years. Since then, we have grown to over 27 retail locations across Canada. Prohibition is now offering franchises to expand and offer its brand throughout Canada.
Operating under the established Prohibition name, we provide customer service and marketing support and have established business relationships to jump-start your dream of becoming an independent business owner.

PROHIBITION is Canada’s leading retail franchise in the industry and the premium choice for all smokers in Canada. While we do not sell Cannabis itself, we sell everything needed to consume it.
Additionally, while Cannabis margins are tiny, our products have a 50% margin. We also have a proven system to help you succeed as a small business owner. We provide operational training, marketing, financing resources, an established brand image and ongoing support to franchise owners.

Why this Marketplace was Created
Frustrated by the timely process of searching for businesses and commercial properties on the market, the founders at Businesses 4 Sale created a platform to transform the business/commercial property buying and selling experience. The database compiles the most relevant information from multiple industry sources, making it easy for future business/commercial property owners and sellers to find exactly what they are looking for.
