“Being able to get an early start to establish Choom’s presence in the private retail market in Ontario through an agreement with a lottery winner is a remarkable milestone for Choom.  We are thrilled that the lottery winner chose Choom to help them successfully open and operate a retail cannabis store in Ontario.” stated Chris Bogart, President and CEO of Choom.  “With our branding and execution, consumers can expect a unique experience accompanied with knowledgeable staff, style, and sophistication reflected throughout the store design. Our goal is to ensure customers leave the store knowing more about what they’re purchasing and creating a high retention customer base.”

CHOOM’S NATIONAL RETAIL NETWORK
Choom is currently developing a network of retail stores which will feature a curated selection of products from various licensed producers with a strong focus on elevated customer experiences for the adult use market. Choom has secured the rights to 54 retail opportunities across Western Canada, rapidly expanding their commercial footprint in highly strategic locations. This includes a total of 46 applications submitted in Western Canada with 10 stores under construction and an additional 17 stores having completed their build out. In all cases, the retail opportunities are subject to all the necessary provincial and municipal governmental approvals.

SAY HELLO TO CHOOM^TM
Choom™ is an emerging adult use cannabis company whose mission is to establish one of the largest retail networks in Canada. The Choom brand is inspired by Hawaii’s “Choom Gang”—a group of buddies in Honolulu during the 1970’s who loved to smoke weed—or as the locals called it, “Choom”. Evoking the spirit of the original Choom Gang, our brand caters to the Canadian adult use market with the ethos of ‘cultivating good times’. Choom™ is focused on delivering an elevated customer experience through our curated retail environments, offering a diversity of brands for Canadians across a national retail network.
