"The Government of Saskatchewan has made the province one of the most attractive for private-sector cannabis retailers, and as a result of their business friendly orientation we will continue to invest in the province," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "Despite some delays with the building permit approvals process related to the pandemic, I look forward to announcing two additional Regina store openings in the coming weeks. Combined, this growth will make Canna Cabana one of the largest cannabis retailers in the city, and allow us to bring our innovative discount club concept to many more Reginans. Our revamped Cabana Club loyalty program has been well-received by our customers and I'm very encouraged by the results that I have seen so far. I look forward to sharing more information about its progress, as well as our fourth quarter 2021 results, on January 27th," added Mr. Grover.
