events.

Danforth Avenue in Toronto. With a
population density exceeding 250,000 residents in a three-kilometer
radius, this neighbourhood also benefits immensely from the
thousands of tourists that visit the popular community festivals
each year. Opening Canna Cabana stores in high traffic locations
such as Danforth Avenue provides great exposure for our brand and
gives us an excellent opportunity to continue onboarding thousands
of new ELITE and Cabana Club members," said Raj Grover, Founder and
Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

exponentially in popularity over the past six years and this is why
we are now evaluating additional retail opportunities in the city
of Toronto. We are targeting
densely populated corridors like Danforth and other prime
locations to serve as many Torontonians as we can through our
disruptive and innovative retail model. Expanding our reach in one
of the largest and fastest growing population centers in
North America will be a focus for
us through the remainder of 2024 and beyond," added Mr. Grover.
