Our locations cover North York (Finch & Dufferin and Centerpoint Mall at Yonge & Steeles), Aurora on Yonge Street, and Thornton just north of Barrie. Most GTA residents are within 15-25 minutes of at least one Ashario.

Here's where to find us:

All four locations are licensed by the AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario), Ontario's cannabis retail regulator. You can verify any retailer's license status through the AGCO's public licensee registry. As of 2026, Ontario has over 1,800 licensed cannabis stores, but only a handful run the extended 7-to-11 schedule we do across multiple cities.

Which Ashario Cannabis Store Is Closest to Me Right Now?

The closest Ashario depends on which part of the GTA you're in. From downtown Toronto, the fastest pickup is usually Centerpoint Mall (Yonge & Steeles), about 20 minutes via Yonge Street or Highway 401. From the west end or York University, Finch & Dufferin is 10-15 minutes. From Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, or Richmond Hill north, Aurora wins. From Barrie or Innisfil, Thornton is the call.

From Downtown Toronto or Midtown

Head north on Yonge Street or take the 401 to Yonge. Ashario Centerpoint Mall is inside the mall at 6464 Yonge Street, just south of Steeles. Free indoor parking, weather-protected entry, and you can grab groceries or coffee in the same trip. Drive time from Yonge & Eglinton: roughly 18-22 minutes. From Yonge & Bloor: about 25-28 minutes.

From North York, Downsview, or York University

Ashario Finch & Dufferin at 1111A Finch Ave W is the quickest stop. It's a 5-minute drive from Finch West subway station and minutes from Highway 400 and 407. Students and staff at York's Keele campus typically arrive in 8-12 minutes via Keele or Jane.

From Richmond Hill, Newmarket, or East Gwillimbury

Ashario Aurora at 15114 Yonge Street is the convenient midway pickup. From Newmarket's Upper Canada Mall: 6-8 minutes south on Yonge. From Richmond Hill's Hillcrest Mall: 12-15 minutes north. Plenty of curbside parking and a fast in-and-out layout designed for express pickup.

From Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford, or Highway 400 North

Ashario Thornton at 239 Barrie Street is your stop. Two minutes off Highway 400 at the Innisfil Beach Road exit, then a quick drive into the village. For more on these northern stores, see our Aurora & Thornton late-hours express pickup guide.

Ashario Hours Today: When Can I Pick Up Cannabis in the GTA?

Ashario Cannabis hours today are 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM at all four locations. Christmas Day, New Year's Day, statutory holidays included. That's a 16-hour service window, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The first customer is typically through the door by 7:05 AM (commuter regulars), and the last orders go through at 10:55 PM.

This extended schedule is unusual in Ontario cannabis retail. Many AGCO-licensed stores close by 10 PM, and quite a few in residential zones can't open before 9 AM due to municipal bylaws. Our locations were specifically built around high-traffic corridors that allow the full legal hours permitted under the Cannabis Act and Ontario's Cannabis Licence Act.

Useful pickup windows we've observed across thousands of orders:

• 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Quietest hour. Walk in, browse, no wait. Good for first-time customers who want budtender time.
• 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM: Lunch rush at Finch & Centerpoint locations. Expect 5-10 minute waits on Fridays.
• 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM: Busiest stretch. Reserve online to skip the line.
• 9:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Quiet again. Ideal for late-night cannabis pickup GTA-wide.

How Do I Skip the Line at a GTA Dispensary Open Now?

The fastest way is to reserve your order online before you arrive. Browse our cannabis product categories on the Ashario website, add what you want to your cart, choose your nearest store, and we'll have it bagged and waiting under your name. You'll get a confirmation email: show your 19+ ID and the order email at the counter, and you're back in your car in under 3 minutes.

This works especially well during the 5 PM - 7 PM rush. Walk-in customers on a Friday at Finch can wait 8-12 minutes during peak. Reserve-and-collect customers walk straight to the express counter. Same selection, same prices, no wait.

What you'll need at the counter, every time:

• Valid government-issued photo ID proving you're 19 or older (Ontario driver's licence, passport, PR card, etc.)
• The name on the order matches the ID
• Cash, debit, or credit accepted in-store

Per Health Canada's cannabis regulations, you can purchase up to 30 grams of dried cannabis equivalent per transaction. That equivalent translates to 150g of fresh flower, 450g of edibles, 2,100g of beverages, 7.5g of concentrates, or 30 cannabis plant seeds.

What Products Can I Pick Up at an Ashario Open Now Tonight?

All four Ashario locations carry the full Ontario-legal product range: dried flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, vape cartridges, disposable vapes, edibles (gummies, chocolates, baked goods), THC and CBD beverages, concentrates (hash, rosin, shatter, diamonds), capsules, topicals, seeds, and accessories.

Stock varies slightly by location, but here's what we keep deep inventory on at every store:

Is Late-Night Cannabis Pickup in the GTA Legal?

Yes, completely legal. Under Ontario's Cannabis Licence Act, AGCO-licensed retailers can sell cannabis between 9:00 AM and 11:00 PM at minimum, with municipal allowances permitting earlier openings down to 7:00 AM. All four Ashario stores operate to the maximum legal hours in their respective municipalities. Cannabis purchased from a licensed retailer is legal to possess and transport (up to 30g dried equivalent in public) anywhere in Canada for adults 19+.

According to Statistics Canada's Cannabis Stats Hub, legal cannabis retail sales in Ontario exceeded $1.9 billion in 2024, with the legal market now serving over 75% of Canadian cannabis consumers: up from 24% in 2018. Late-evening pickups (after 9 PM) account for roughly 18% of all Ashario transactions, based on our internal point-of-sale data.

Keep in mind: smoking or vaping cannabis is prohibited in most public spaces, vehicles, and within 9 metres of certain building entrances under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. Transport sealed product home to consume legally. For more youth-protection context, see Drug Free Kids Canada.

Driving Directions and Parking at Each Ashario GTA Location

Every Ashario location has dedicated or shared parking, so you're not circling the block looking for a meter. Here's the quick reference:

Why GTA Customers Choose Ashario for Open-Now Cannabis Pickup

Three reasons our regulars cite consistently: hours, selection breadth, and budtender knowledge. We staff every shift, including the 9 PM - 11 PM late stretch, with at least one CannSell-certified budtender who can walk you through terpene profiles, format choices, and dosing for edibles. We're not a vending machine. Customers ask us hundreds of questions a week, from "what's a good 2.5mg drink for a weekday" to "which sativa pre-roll has the highest myrcene."

A few specifics we've heard from regulars in the last 60 days: Aurora customers love being able to grab a beverage at 10:45 PM after a Friday shift; York University students at the Finch store appreciate the 7 AM opening for early labs and morning study sessions; Thornton cottagers driving north on Highway 400 stop in around 8 PM on Friday evenings before heading up to Muskoka.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does Ashario Cannabis open today?

Ashario Cannabis opens at 7:00 AM at all four GTA locations. Finch & Dufferin, Centerpoint Mall, Aurora, and Thornton: every single day of the year, including statutory holidays like Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, and Canada Day. The 7 AM opening makes us one of the earliest-opening cannabis retailers in Ontario, ideal for commuter pickup before work.

What time does the closest cannabis store close tonight?

All Ashario Cannabis stores close at 11:00 PM daily. We accept the last walk-in customer at approximately 10:55 PM, giving you enough time to browse, choose, and pay before close. Reserve-and-collect orders placed online must be picked up before 11:00 PM the same day or they'll be held for next-day pickup.

Is there a 24-hour cannabis store in the GTA?

No. Under Ontario's Cannabis Licence Act enforced by the AGCO, licensed cannabis retailers cannot operate 24 hours. The latest legal closing time is 11:00 PM, and the earliest legal opening is regulated municipally, typically 7:00 AM at the earliest. Ashario operates the maximum legal window of 7 AM to 11 PM. There is no legal 24-hour cannabis option in Ontario as of 2026.

Can I order cannabis online for same-day pickup in the GTA?

Yes. Place a reserve-and-collect order on the Ashario website, choose your preferred GTA store, and we'll typically have your order packed within 15-30 minutes. You'll receive a confirmation email when it's ready. Bring valid 19+ photo ID and your order number to the express pickup counter. Same-day pickup is available right up to closing time at 11:00 PM.

Which Ashario store has the most inventory?

Inventory depth is roughly equivalent across all four locations. That said, the Finch & Dufferin and Centerpoint Mall stores tend to carry slightly broader SKU counts because of higher daily transaction volume, typically 1,500+ unique products in stock at any time. Specialty items like high-terpene concentrates and limited-drop flower sometimes sell out first at Finch.

What ID do I need to buy cannabis in Ontario?

You must be at least 19 years old and present a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID. Acceptable IDs include Ontario driver's licence, Ontario photo card, Canadian passport, permanent resident card, Canadian Armed Forces ID, or Certificate of Indian Status. Foreign passports are accepted. Health cards alone are not accepted as primary ID for cannabis purchases under AGCO retail rules. No ID, no sale, no exceptions.
