Canna Cabana Launches Cannabis Delivery on Demand

High Tide Inc. (“High Tide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, announced today that it has launched cannabis Delivery on Demand in select Canna Cabana retail locations across Canada. Under the new program, customers will be guaranteed delivery of all online orders from participating stores within two hours of their order being placed, or any hourly slot chosen by the customer between 12:00pm and 8:00pm outside of the two hour window. Under this premium delivery program, customers will be charged a CAD$9.99 delivery fee, with no minimum purchase required. After an initial launch at select locations in Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, the Company intends to expand the program to cover all locations under the Canna Cabana banner across Canada, including in Alberta where private delivery is set to launch on March 8th, as per guidance received from the provincial regulator.

“At High Tide, we strive to consistently roll out innovative and forward-thinking service offerings for our customers, and today’s announcement is no different. Through this on-demand approach to cannabis delivery, we are creating an experience that we know will be enjoyed by Cabana Club members across Canada. By choosing to use Delivery on Demand when ordering from Canna Cabana, our customers will be able to access our unbeatable prices from the comfort of their own home, with the added peace-of-mind of knowing exactly when their delivery will arrive from the moment that they place their order,” said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. “In addition to creating a fantastic delivery experience for our customers, this initiative also represents a proactive and thoughtful approach to competing with and drawing consumers away from the illicit cannabis market, which we know remains resilient in part due to their offering of unregulated delivery services. We plan on introducing this program in all provinces where we operate as soon as possible, and I look forward to seeing the growth and success of this program as we roll it out across Canada,” added Mr. Grover.
