The Company further announced that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 970 Albert Street, also in Regina, Saskatchewan (the “Albert Street store”), will begin selling recreational cannabis products for adult use on January 27, 2022. These openings will bring High Tide’s total number of branded retail locations across Canada to 109, and 9 in Saskatchewan, selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories.

With these openings, we have also kept our commitment to open all of the Regina retail portfolio locations that we acquired in August of 2021. This growth in Regina is just one part of our Canada-wide expansion strategy for 2022, through which we plan to reach 150 retail locations by investing in promising markets across the country,” added Mr. Grover
