High Tide to Open Two New Canna Cabana Stores in Ontario
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 99 Balsam Street in Collingwood, ON will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on March 13, 2025; and that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 1 Hespeler Road in Cambridge, ON will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on March 17, 2025. These openings will mark High Tide’s 193rd and 194th Canna Cabana branded retail cannabis locations in Canada, and the 78th and 79th in the province of Ontario.
COLLINGWOOD LOCATION
Our first store in Collingwood is strategically situated in the heart of town, which is a popular tourist destination with 400,000 unique visitors annually. Situated in the Collingwood Centre alongside high-traffic national hardware and grocery chains, the location benefits from strong foot traffic and excellent co-tenancy. Positioned on the route to Blue Mountain Village, it serves as the first cannabis store travelers encounter as they enter Collingwood, providing easy access for both locals and tourists.
CAMBRIDGE LOCATION
Our first store in Cambridge is perfectly situated in a prime location, with access to a strong population density with limited nearby competition. Located at a major intersection and thoroughfare, the store is anchored by popular national fast food, retail and coffee chains, drawing significant foot traffic from the large residential neighbourhoods nearby.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our footprint in Ontario with these two new Canna Cabana locations in Collingwood and Cambridge. Each store has been carefully selected to serve both local communities and visitors, offering them a welcoming and accessible retail experience. Our Collingwood store, situated at a key entry point to this popular tourist destination, will cater to the thousands of travelers who visit the area each year, while our Cambridge location benefits from a strong residential base and high-traffic commercial setting. With every new store, we are reinforcing our commitment to making legal cannabis more accessible and affordable across Canada,” said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.
“As we approach the milestone of 200 stores nationwide, High Tide remains focused on delivering unmatched value through our innovative discount club model, unbeatable prices, and exclusive Cabana Club benefits. Our goal is to create a shopping experience that is both engaging and enjoyable, ensuring that our loyal members receive the best products at the best prices in a safe and welcoming environment. We look forward to serving these vibrant communities and continuing to set the standard for cannabis retail in Canada,” added Mr. Grover.
