, /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it will open four new Canna Cabana branded locations across Ontario and Alberta, located in Calgary, Scarborough, Kitchener, and Nepean. These openings bring High Tide's total store count to 215 Canna Cabana locations across Canada, 90 in the province of Alberta and 92 in the province of Ontario. "Hitting 215 Cabanas—almost entirely through organic growth—is a powerful validation of our disciplined capital allocation strategy and our ability to identify and win in the right neighbourhoods," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. "With 24 new locations opened so far this calendar year, we remain on track to finish toward the higher end of our 20-to-30 new-store target for 2025. Our team's consistent execution continues to expand our national reach and amplify the strength of the Canna Cabana brand, driving profitable growth as we deepen our presence in Alberta and Ontario," added Mr. Grover. CALGARY LOCATION The Company's new Canna Cabana located at 2525 Bridlecrest Way SW in Calgary, Alberta, will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on November 13, 2025. It is situated in the southwest corner of Calgary, representing a new area of the city not currently served by a Canna Cabana. Located in a convenient neighbourhood plaza alongside fast-food and other popular everyday-use tenants, it strategically positions Canna Cabana in a high-growth area. With limited opportunities for competitor entry, this location further strengthens the Company's footprint in Calgary while driving new customer loyalty in a rapidly expanding community. SCARBOROUGH LOCATION The Company's new Canna Cabana located at 2000 Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough, Ontario, is expected to begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on November 17, 2025. This location benefits from strong visibility along Eglinton Avenue, positioned on the east side of Toronto and the west end of Scarborough. Situated along the Golden Mile shopping strip, this site backs onto a major everyday retail destination that includes a discount club grocer, a national pet store, and popular fast-food tenants, supporting consistent traffic and convenient access. KITCHENER LOCATION The Company's new Canna Cabana located at 875 Highland Road West in Kitchener, Ontario, is expected to begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on November 18, 2025. This new store is situated within a high-traffic destination commercial centre anchored by a national grocer, liquor retailer, and other major everyday retailers. The combination of strong retail draw and limited nearby competition positions Canna Cabana to capture meaningful market share in this growing node of Kitchener. NEPEAN LOCATION The Company's new Canna Cabana located at 1831 Robertson Road in Nepean, Ontario, is expected to begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use on November 20, 2025. Bells Corners in Nepean remains a strong market for Canna Cabana as a rapidly evolving Ottawa suburb, and this new location will further deepen the Company's presence in the area. Located within a high-traffic commercial plaza and supported by a favourable competitive landscape, this store benefits from strong visibility from the main thoroughfare, along with convenient co-tenancies including quick-service restaurants that drive consistent everyday traffic.
