CALGARY, January 14, 2022 /CNW/ – High Tide Inc. (“High Tide” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HITI) (Nasdaq: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 155 Albert Street North in Regina, Saskatchewan, has begun selling recreational cannabis products for adult use. This opening represents High Tide’s 107thbranded retail location across Canada, and 7th in Saskatchewan, selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories. Building on the earlier successful launches of two other locations, this store will be the third Canna Cabana to open in Regina, Saskatchewan’s capital and second-largest city. The new Canna Cabana store is located on Albert Street, which is a major north-south thoroughfare and commercial corridor in Regina. It is also one block south of the Northgate Mall, and is easily accessible from several nearby residential communities.

“The Government of Saskatchewan has made the province one of the most attractive for private-sector cannabis retailers, and as a result of their business friendly orientation we will continue to invest in the province,” said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. “Despite some delays with the building permit approvals process related to the pandemic, I look forward to announcing two additional Regina store openings in the coming weeks. Combined, this growth will make Canna Cabana one of the largest cannabis retailers in the city, and allow us to bring our innovative discount club concept to many more Reginans. Our revamped Cabana Club loyalty program has been well-received by our customers and I’m very encouraged by the results that I have seen so far. I look forward to sharing more information about its progress, as well as our fourth quarter 2021 results, on January 27th,” added Mr. Grover.
