✨ Business Update ✨

You may have noticed a familiar face with a fresh new look! Smokers Junction has officially rebranded and is now Xpress Junction.

The newly refreshed shop continues to serve the community from its 17th Ave location, offering v**e products and smoking accessories, a loyalty program, customer parking in the back, and the unbeatable prices they've become known for.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the new name and branding the next time you’re exploring the avenue. Congratulations to the team at Xpress Junction on the rebrand and this exciting new chapter!

As the nights get longer, suddenly 7 AM breakfast feels deeply unrealistic ☀️

Luckily, 17th Ave has plenty of brunch spots worth sleeping in for, whether you’re after recovery coffee, patio mimosas, pastries, or a full brunch spread with friends 👀
