High Tide Opens Second Canna Cabana in Scarborough, Ontario

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 25, 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 2432 Eglinton Avenue East, Scarborough, Ontario has begun selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use. This opening marks High Tide's 188th Canna Cabana branded retail cannabis location in Canada, the 74th in the province of Ontario, the 11th in the city of Toronto, and second in the borough of Scarborough.  

Located in Toronto's vibrant and multicultural borough of Scarborough, this new Canna Cabana is situated in a busy shopping complex anchored by prominent Canadian discount grocery and pharmacy chains. The new store is also conveniently located across the street from the Kennedy GO Train and subway station, a major hub for Torontonians who commute across the GTA. This brand-new store will serve approximately 20,000 residents within a one-kilometre radius.

"I am excited to announce the opening of our second Cabana in Scarborough, one of Canada's most vibrant and multicultural communities. This new store is strategically positioned near the Kennedy transit station, a key commuting hub for Scarborough's 630,000+ residents. Additionally, its location within a major shopping complex underscores our commitment to securing prime real estate in high-traffic areas," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"Our innovative and disruptive retail model, complemented by a strong and strategic real estate portfolio, continues to drive consistent free cash flow generation, fueling our robust brick-and-mortar growth trajectory. We are equally enthusiastic about accelerating momentum in our e-commerce segment as we prepare to launch an exciting and innovative range of offerings," added Mr. Grover.
