High Tide Expands Its Canna Cabana Brand with New Locations in Canada
High Tide Inc., a leader in the cannabis retail industry, is taking significant steps to enhance its presence in the market by announcing the opening of two new Canna Cabana locations, one in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and another in Lasalle, Ontario. These new stores are part of High Tide’s broader mission to make cannabis more accessible and affordable for Canadians, reinforcing its position as a retail-forward enterprise.
Expanding Presence in Saskatchewan and Ontario
As of August 20, 2025, High Tide operates 205 Canna Cabana locations across Canada, with 13 stores in Saskatchewan and 84 in Ontario alone. The first of the two new stores was opened in Saskatoon on August 18, 2025. Situated at 415 Circle Drive East, the Saskatoon location benefits from high visibility due to its prime location along a major arterial road, which sees high traffic but features minimal competition nearby.
The surrounding area is experiencing rapid growth, with a demographic that is primarily young and increasingly interested in affordable cannabis options. The store, strategically placed near popular quick-service restaurants and big box retailers, aims to serve a burgeoning market that has yet to be fully tapped.
The second store is set to open in Lasalle on August 25, 2025. Located at 2055 Sandwich Parkway West, this new branch is positioned within a fresh development that includes grocery stores, big box retail, and various housing units. Its convenience will particularly benefit the local community, with an estimated 24,000 residents living within a 5-minute drive and an impressive 90,000 within a 10-minute drive. The limited competition in this new retail hub places High Tide in a advantageous position to capture a significant share of the market.
High Tide's Vision for Cannabis Retail
Raj Grover, the founder and CEO of High Tide, expressed his excitement about the openings, stating, "Adding two new Cabana stores in Saskatchewan and Ontario is another step forward in our mission to make quality cannabis more accessible and affordable for Canadians. We have a number of additional stores in our pipeline, and I am confident that we will reach the upper limits of our target for 2025."
High Tide’s commitment extends beyond domestic growth. With plans to penetrate the German market and potentials for reform in the U.S., the company is poised to take advantage of expanding opportunities in the cannabis sector. High Tide’s innovative discount model has already set it apart in the Canadian market, and the company continues to lead with its diversified operations, including retail, consumption accessories, and cannabis-oriented e-commerce platforms.
A Comprehensive Cannabis Ecosystem
High Tide does not just stop at retail. It operates a fully integrated business model encompassing various aspects of the cannabis world. Its subsidiary, Canna Cabana, is recognized as one of the largest and most accessible cannabis retail brands globally. In addition to traditional retail locations, High Tide offers an automated shopping technology known as Fastendr™ that enhances the consumer experience by streamlining the browsing and ordering process.
The company also has a robust suite of brands, including Queen of Bud™, Daily High Club™, and others, which cater to diverse consumer preferences. Through platforms such as Grasscity.com and Smokecartel.com, High Tide leads in the realm of cannabis accessories, further solidifying its presence in the cannabis industry.
Recognitions like being listed among Canada's Top Growing Companies by the Globe and Mail for four consecutive years speak to High Tide’s steadfast growth and innovation in the sector. Moreover, the company ranks high on the Financial Times’ list of the Americas' Fastest Growing Companies for 2023, showcasing its commitment to expanding cannabis culture and retail practices.
In conclusion, High Tide's strategic expansion into Saskatchewan and Ontario with the opening of new Canna Cabana stores represents a significant milestone in the company’s journey, contributing to its reputation as an industry leader and highlighting its dedication to making cannabis more accessible to consumers in Canada.
