CALGARY, April 23, 2020 /CNW/ - YSS Corp.™ (the "Company" or "YSS") (TSXV: YSS) (WKN: A2PMAX), a premier Canadian cannabis retailer with operations under the YSS^TM and Sweet Tree^TM brands and a trusted destination to explore and discover cannabis in Canada, is pleased to announce that our YSS and Sweet Tree Cannabis stores in Alberta and Saskatchewan are now offering online ordering by way of Click-and-Collect through www.ysscorp.ca and www.sweettreecannabis.com.

This exciting rollout represents the next phase of convenience for our customers and further enhances in-store safety during the COVID-19 pandemic by enabling customers to minimize time in-store. With ease, customers can now browse and filter our complete inventory of available cannabis and cannabis-related accessories by store and reserve products from whichever location is most convenient. The online platform features an estimated time for pick-up and direct text order updates from the chosen store.

The Click-and-Collect service is a fully-compliant technology built on a secure, internally-controlled and Canadian-domiciled platform that allows customers to browse, shop and reserve under a personal profile or as a guest. All secure customer data is managed exclusively by YSS.

While trust has always been one of YSS' core business values, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust is prioritized more than ever. We care deeply about the safety and well-being of our employees, customers, and partners, and we have put measures in place to ensure a clean, safe and prompt retail experience.
