"Another consecutive quarter of steady sales growth in a challenging retail cannabis market demonstrates the strength of ShinyBud's cannabis store portfolio and the value our experienced operating team brings to the business," said Kevin Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With only two quarters as a fully consolidated company under our belt, we plan to continue leveraging our retail know-how to profitably operate our existing network of cannabis stores, which are strategically located in markets across Ontario less saturated with cannabis retailers."

These sales figures exclude other revenue streams, such as the ShinyBuddy Data Program and store licensing fees. The Company's interim consolidated financial results for the three and six-month periods ending July 30, 2022, are scheduled to be released late-September.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
