High Tide Inc. announced that it has recently opened its fifth Canna Cabana retail store (the "Location"). Situated on 111th Avenue Northwest in Edmonton, Alberta, the Location was granted a business license by the City of Edmonton and has been open to the public since December 20, 2018. The Location is approved to sell smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products while the temporary suspension of incremental cannabis retail licensing by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis ("AGLC") remains in effect. High Tide currently has 28 other Canna Cabana stores under various stages of construction, with 33 total development permits in hand for its Canna Cabana and KushBar retail cannabis stores across Alberta. In the short term, the Company expects to receive the four remaining development permits required to achieve the AGLC's effective maximum of 37 retail cannabis locations in the province. Outside of Alberta, the Company will be submitting its Expression of Interest Application to participate in the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario's lottery being conducted on January 11, 2019 to award 25 opportunities for potential operators to apply for a cannabis retail store license.
