Management expects Star Buds Cannabis Co. to continue to benefit from closures of competing stores, industry consolidation, and increased customer awareness due to greater availability of third-party delivery. Recent performance and new initiatives give the Company increased confidence in our retail strategy, and management continues to work on expanding the Star Buds Cannabis Co. footprint across Canada through both organic store growth and acquisitions.

“We continue to see impressive growth of the Star Buds Cannabis Co. brand during a challenging macroeconomic environment, which we view as confirmation of our original business plan,” stated Taz Turner, Chairman and CEO of Cordova. “We built Cordova during a global pandemic and see the current economic climate as an opportunity to aggressively grow while much of our competition struggles. We are actively looking for expansion opportunities and believe the Company is in an excellent position to take additional market share in the coming months.”
