CALGARY, AB, Nov. 28, 2023 /CNW/ - PRESS RELEASE - High Tide Inc., 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 20th Street West, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use today. This opening will mark High Tide's 158th Canna Cabana branded retail cannabis location in Canada, the 11th in the province of Saskatchewan and the second in Saskatoon.
This Canna Cabana location is situated within the downtown community of
Riversdale, one of the three original settlements of Saskatoon. As in other
cities, this older neighborhood has been undergoing a transformation since
2009, welcoming many new businesses and shoppers. Right off a major
thoroughfare through Saskatoon, this store is just a few blocks from Midtown
Common, a bustling shopping plaza with major big-name retail brands and a movie
theatre. Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan, with a population of
over 250,000, and Riversdale is a brand-new market for Canna Cabana.
"This exciting new Canna Cabana is opening in the former location of
Kiaro Cannabis, a prime retail storefront. Following on the heels of our recent
announcement of Canna Cabana opening in a former Fire & Flower location in
Calgary, this store is another excellent example of how we are capitalizing on
saving build-out costs by targeting prime pre-existing cannabis retail
locations for our new stores. In this hypercompetitive Canadian cannabis
landscape, I have said that every dollar counts and these opportunities expand
our footprint at a much lower cost," said Raj Grover, founder and CEO of High Tide.
"Riversdale is the neighborhood closest to the downtown core and
features many shops, restaurants and other businesses that will draw new
customers, ELITE and Cabana Club members into our newest Cabana. Saskatchewan
is also the most cannabis-friendly business province where our innovative
discount club model has the greatest opportunity to service our new and
existing loyal club members by providing them with a unique and compelling
variety of products at unbeatable prices, as we are able to work directly with
licensed producers to bring in a variety of differentiated products to meet our
customer's evolving demands. We anticipate opening a few more locations before
the end of this calendar year. So, stay tuned," added Mr. Grover.
