Tsuut'ina Nation recently opened their first Canna Cabana cannabis store by High Tide.
In a recent press release (1), High Tide Inc. (High Tide), declared their new Canna Cabana location which is a first for the Tsuut’ina Nation. The cannabis retail facility will be able to be found at 11501 Buffalo Run Blvd Tsuut'ina, Alberta, Canada and will offer cannabis users recreational use products and accessories that can be used for consumption beginning December 23, 2023 (1). The cannabis retail store will make history as the first cannabis retail store for the Tsuut’ina Nation and also be High Tide’s 160th Canna Cabana business in Canada.
The new location for Canna Cabana can be found in the Taza Development of The Shops of Buffalo Run (1).
"I am excited to announce the opening of the 160th Canna Cabana store in Canada and the first of our flagship retail cannabis stores on the Tsuut'ina Nation. The Shops at Buffalo Run is a high-traffic retail power centre with direct access to an estimated 100,000 community members and residents. Coupled with strong anchor tenants and few competitors, this Canna Cabana is well positioned to become a high revenue store," Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide, commented (1).
"I would like to thank the Tsuut'ina Nation and the Taza Development group for welcoming the Canna Cabana brand into this exciting new development. This store builds upon our existing partnerships with First Nations communities in Manitoba, including the Opaskwayak Cree Nation and the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation. I look forward to announcing a slew of additional store openings before the New Year," Grover continued (1).
"We are continuously striving to provide an inviting and convenient space for both businesses and consumers, and the continued growth and diversity of amenities, retail, and service offerings available in The Shops at Buffalo Run is a testament to our dedication towards that goal," James Robertson, President of Taza Development Corp, said (1).
"Our commitment to bringing top-notch retailers and businesses to the area is reinforced through this new addition, and we are confident that it will be a welcomed addition to the retail mix," Robertson added (1).
