VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hobo Cannabis Company (“Hobo”) today announces the opening of its newest retail store, located in the heart of Vancouver’s shopping district on Robson Street (1173 Robson Street). This marks the company’s fifth location province-wide, and fourth location in Vancouver, granting Hobo majority market share in the city with the launch of this 2,100 square foot store.
“We’re proud to be further investing in the growth of the cannabis industry and the local community at home on the West Coast,” said Harrison Stoker, VP Brand at Donnelly Group. “As the new year kicks off, we’re so thankful for all that we’ve achieved this past year as we’ve grown Hobo here, in Vancouver, and look forward to bringing Hobo Cannabis Company to more communities across Canada throughout 2020.”
The new location features a carefully curated lobby entrance and new design elements to support the rollout of Cannabis 2.0 products including vaporizers and edibles. Hobo Robson will also showcase the company’s first terpene bar: an interactive experience that presents cannabis’ common terpenes as everyday smells, distilled into aromatic essential oil blends by the experts at the group’s Barber & Co laboratory in downtown Vancouver. The bar, which was first previewed at Lift&Co Expo Vancouver in January, will feature terpenes including Myrcene (Herbal), Limonene (Citrus), Caryophyllene (Spice), Terpinolene (Herbaceous), Pinene (Pine), Linalool (Floral) and aims to help buyers explore and get to know their favourite cannabis strains in a new way.
This news follows the company’s announcement of three upcoming Ontario locations, including the first legal cannabis retail store in Timmins, as well as a location in Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market, and another in the neighbourhood of Nepean. The announcement comes ahead of the company’s market entry into the prairie provinces, with three locations currently under construction in Alberta.
