High Tide to Open 185th Canna Cabana Location

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 10, 2024 /CNW/ - 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.
