History
[edit]In 2020, Ned Kuruc converted his former bar Che Burrito & Lounge into a cannabis retailer to replace lost customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kuruc stated that when the Province of Ontario began imposing restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, he knew that he would not be able to sustain the space as a bar and lounge. Kuruc stated in 2020 that his goal was to create unique cannabis stores that focused on art and culture, and expressed an interest in expanding the Neku Cannabis brand around Ontario.[5]
In 2020, the Hamilton Spectator reported that Kuruc had sought a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to convert Stoney Creek's Attic Pizza into a marijuana dispensary known as Neku Cannabis.[6][7][8] The opening of Neku Cannabis caused controversy in Stoney Creek, with news reportings indicating that many residents were opposed to Kuruc's plans to expand his cannabis brand into downtown Stoney Creek.[9][10][11]
