CALGARY, AB, Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc.
("High Tide" or the "Company") (TSXV: HITI) (Nasdaq: HITI) (FSE:
2LYA), a retail-focused cannabis company enhanced by the
manufacturing of proprietary and licensed consumption accessories,
announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis stores
located at 1021 Cyrville Road (the "Gloucester store") and 836 March Road (the
"Kanata store") in Ottawa, Ontario, have begun selling
recreational cannabis products for adult use. These openings bring
High Tide's total number of branded retail locations across
Canada to 99, and 28 in
Ontario, selling recreational
cannabis products and consumption accessories. The Gloucester store is well-placed to reach the
currently-underserved consumers living in Ottawa's eastern suburbs, being situated in a
large commercial plaza just off Ottawa's Queensway and anchored by a national
grocery chain and other big box retailers. It is also located near
the St. Laurent Shopping Centre and surrounding retail attractions,
and is close to the main campus of La Cité, the largest
french-language college in Ontario
with 5,000 full-time students. The Kanata store is situated in the midst of
Ottawa's fast-growing western
suburbs, in a commercial plaza anchored by a national grocery
retailer, and a major provincial liquor store chain, which is just
down the road from the Kanata Research Park and its significant
concentration of employers in the hi-tech sector.
"I am pleased that customers in suburban Ottawa will now be able to take advantage of
our unique one stop cannabis shop concept for all of their cannabis
and consumption accessories needs. While downtown
Ottawa residents have been able to
access our two Canna Cabana stores for some time, expansion into
underserviced suburban areas remains a key element of our organic
growth strategy," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive
Officer of High Tide. With the opening of the new
Gloucester and Kanata locations, High Tide is poised to open
its 100th Canadian store within the next few days," added Mr.
Grover.
