CALGARY, AB, March 26, 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 925 Rathburn Rd East, Mississauga, Ontario will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on Thursday, March 28. This opening will mark High Tide's 167th Canna Cabana branded cannabis retail location in Canada, the 58th in the province of Ontario and the 4th in Mississauga.

This brand-new Canna Cabana is nestled within a major retail power center and is surrounded by strong anchor tenants, including a national grocery retailer, Canada's largest bulk-food retailer, and several quick-serve restaurants. Situated close to well-travelled roadways, this Canna Cabana will benefit from the many residents who come through this plaza to run their daily errands and will welcome new and existing ELITE and Cabana Club members.

"I am thrilled to announce another Canna Cabana opening in Mississauga in rapid succession. This Tomken store is another example of our thoughtful real estate strategy, where we strategically locate our stores in these retail power centers surrounded by major national anchor tenants. The coming months are brimming with more exciting Canna Cabana store openings as we look to continue our growth trajectory in Mississauga and beyond, eventually reaching 300 stores across Canada and our long-term objective to achieve 15% market share in the provinces where we operate," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"Growth and innovation are in our DNA. Our Cabana Club is the first-of-its-kind discount club model in North America, which features ELITE as our paid membership tier. ELITE upgrades have been growing at their fastest pace to date, with Canna Cabana quickly becoming a household name in Canada. Our goal is to extend the reach of our Cabana Club into a global cannabis community by consolidating our 5 million plus international customers and bringing them all together into our rapidly growing membership base," added Mr. Grover.
