SMITHS FALLS, ON, Aug. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Canopy Growth
Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) (the "Company" or "Canopy
Growth"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Tweed Inc., has been
selected as an approved supplier by the Ontario Cannabis Store
("OCS") to supply a wide variety of cannabis products through its
online store starting October 17th,
2018.
Specific quantities will be disclosed once those details have
been released by the province. In total, Tweed has successfully listed over 100
cannabis SKUs across multiple formats including pre-rolled joints,
dried flower, oils, and softgel capsules.
"Today marks another significant milestone for us as we've
officially ensured Ontarians will have access to a huge variety of
Tweed-branded products," said
Mark Zekulin, President &
Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "With our private retail plan being rolled
out in other provinces, our attention in Ontario will now turn to bricks and mortar
shops in this key market."
Canopy Growth applauds the Province of Ontario's recent decision to initiate a
private cannabis retail network. It is an incredible opportunity
that will see the private sector make investments around the
province, reducing taxpayer dollars spent while maintaining a
smart, centralized warehouse inventory system.
Private retail is a more profitable business model which will
also allow Tweed to build a deeper
connection with its customers.
Every detail of Tweed's retail
stores, from the backend point of sale and loss prevention systems
to the fixtures on the walls, have been finalized. With the prep
work complete, Tweed stores can be
opened within weeks of receiving the green light.
With today's announcement Canopy Growth continues its streak of
being included in every province and territory's supply plans.
Canopy Growth is a proudly Canadian company with a truly national
presence, Coast to Coast to Coast.
Here's to (a steady drumbeat of) Future Growth.
