CALGARY, AB, March 25, 2021 /CNW/ - High Tide Inc. ("High
Tide" or the "Company") (TSXV: HITI) (OTCQB: HITIF) (FRA: 2LY), a
retail-focused cannabis corporation enhanced by the manufacturing
and distribution of consumption accessories, announced today that
its new Canna Cabana retail store, located in the affluent
Silverado neighbourhood of Calgary, has begun selling recreational
cannabis products for adult use, and that an additional store
located in Calgary's Shawnessy
neighbourhood will begin sales tomorrow. The new stores are located
at 850 - 19369 Sheriff King Street SW and 130 - 296 Shawville Blvd
SE, and represent High Tide's 78th and 79th
branded retail locations across Canada selling recreational cannabis products
and consumption accessories. The Silverado store, the first
cannabis retail store within the neighbourhood, is situated in a
popular retail plaza anchored by a major grocery chain while the
Shawnessy location is in a power centre alongside major national
retail brands.
"Both new stores will follow High Tide's "one stop cannabis
shop" differentiated model for all our customers' cannabis and
consumption accessory needs," said Raj Grover, President and Chief
Executive Officer of High Tide. "While Alberta remains a competitive market, our
business strategy in the province focuses on continuing organic
growth by opening new stores in underserviced neighbourhoods while
offering price points and product offerings that appeal to a broad
spectrum of consumers," added Mr. Grover.
