“I am pleased to announce the opening of our brand-new Cabana on Danforth Avenue in Toronto. With a population density exceeding 250,000 residents in a three-kilometer radius, this neighbourhood also benefits immensely from the thousands of tourists that visit the popular community festivals each year. Opening Canna Cabana stores in high traffic locations such as Danforth Avenue provides great exposure for our brand and gives us an excellent opportunity to continue onboarding thousands of new ELITE and Cabana Club members,” said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.
“Our Canna Cabana brand and the Cabana Club have grown exponentially in popularity over the past six years and this is why we are now evaluating additional retail opportunities in the city of Toronto.
