CALGARY,
AB, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide
Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI)
(TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward
enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component
of cannabis, announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis
store located at 3406 Dundas Street W, Toronto, Ontario will begin selling
recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for
adult use on Sunday, October 13. This
opening will mark High Tide's 185th Canna Cabana branded retail
cannabis location in Canada, the
71st in the province of Ontario
and the 11th in the city of Toronto.
The new Dundas Street Canna Cabana opens in the west end of
Toronto, in the mature and
established neighbourhood of Runnymede with a three-kilometer population
density exceeding 150,000 residents. This new store is situated in
a retail shopping plaza anchored by a national grocery chain and
several other locally owned businesses.
"I am thrilled to announce the opening of our 185th Canna Cabana
location in Canada. We achieved
this significant milestone just days before the sixth anniversary
of Canadian cannabis legalization. I am so proud of what our team
has been able to accomplish in such a short time, especially when
some of our largest competitors have filed for CCAA or closed their
doors completely," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of High Tide.
"As previously communicated, we remain focused on rapidly
expanding our store network organically across Canada. Our team has been active in sourcing
new store sites in tactically selected and established locations in
line with our real estate strategy. Our construction pipeline is
robust, with many more high-quality sites like Dundas to be launched throughout this calendar
year and into 2025," added Mr. Grover.
