WINNIPEG, Dec. 7, 2018
/CNW/ - DELTA 9 CANNABIS INC. (TSXV: NINE)
(OTC: VRNDF) ("Delta 9" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it
has received conditional approval from the Manitoba Government to
open a new cannabis 'SuperStore' in Brandon, Manitoba. The store opening is
subject to execution of a Retail Store Agreement with the province,
as well as final licenses and inspections from the Liquor Gaming
and Cannabis Authority.
At 4,800 square feet in size, the cannabis outlet will be the
largest in Manitoba and will
include an onsite Cannabis Education Centre offering courses on
cannabis use and safety for the general public.
"There are many people who may be completely new to cannabis or
may not have tried it for years or even decades," explained Delta 9
CEO John Arbuthnot. "Part of our
mission as a Company is to make sure that our customers have the
best information possible for an enjoyable experience."
The Education Centre will be offering courses including the
basics of using cannabis safely, called 'Cannabis 101', a course on
the use of cannabis oils, a course on the use of various cannabis
accessories, and how to use ancillary items to produce cannabis
butter for edible products.
The Delta 9 outlet in Brandon
is located in a former liquor store in Shoppers Mall, the busiest
retail area in the city. Shoppers Mall is a 367,000-square-foot
enclosed regional shopping centre located in the heart of
Brandon's shopping district.
The Mall features more than 90 retailers offering a merchandise mix
of retail, services, entertainment and restaurants, and includes
major anchor tenants such as Sobeys extra, Shoppers Drug Mart,
Sport Chek and Landmark Cinemas.
"Our retail strategy has been to build in the best available
properties we can find, with the highest amount of foot and
vehicular traffic," explained VP of Retail Operations Al Roney. "This strategy has worked very well at
our St. Vital outlet in
Winnipeg and where we have
completed over 36,000 transactions to date.
"We fully expect to see the same kind of success in Brandon, and we're very excited to start
working on renovating the property over the next few weeks."
Brandon residents will start to
see Delta 9 Cannabis signs going up over the coming week, as
contractors move in to begin construction. Roney says the store
will be very similar to the sleek, elegant design of the
Winnipeg outlet, which some media
outlets described as "like an Apple Store, but with cannabis."
The Company is awaiting final approval from the provincial
government on two more stores, with one located in Winnipeg and the other in Thompson.
