A vape shop has opened its doors in downtown Blaine.
Vapester Smoke Shop opened its first U.S. location at 477 Peace Portal Drive, suite 103, on July 20. The store primarily sells vape products, including disposable vapes and smoke items, but also serves as a convenience store selling candy and non-alcoholic drinks. The store sells halal meat, which is processed and prepared in accordance to Islamic dietary laws.
The company’s website for the Blaine location will eventually offer same-day, local delivery for convenience store items, store manager Shahzad Khan said.
The company has at least two locations in Vancouver, B.C., one on Commercial Drive and the other on Robson Street, according to its Canadian website.
Owner Jubair Khalid was inspired to open a store in Blaine after seeing few vape businesses, Khan said.
“Sometimes people who cross the border are looking for vapes,” Khan said.
Vapester Smoke Shop is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days per week. The store can be reached at 360/656-6775.
