The Company expects these next ten Canna Cabana stores, including one franchise, to be licensed as retail cannabis stores throughout the summer, which will bring its total number of retail cannabis stores to 15 branded locations across Alberta .
The remaining 22 locations to reach the effective maximum of 37 retail cannabis stores in Alberta are currently under various stages of development and construction. Outside of Alberta , High Tide currently has a Canna Cabana retail cannabis store in Swift Current, Saskatchewan , along with three branded locations in Hamilton , Sudbury and Toronto, Ontario .
