Although the exact launch date of recreational cannabis in Canada isn’t yet known, the future of the industry, at least from a retail perspective, is currently being developed. Multiple provinces across the country have already outlined details for their retail programs. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SGLA), for example, last month announced plans to commence issuing retail permits. Timing could prove to be key for prospective retailers in Saskatchewan. The SGLA has limited the number of permits to 51 for the first three years in an effort to ensure a controlled rollout (http://nnw.fm/BB5zT), and other provinces have detailed similar restrictions. Choom has already made moves to secure its portion of this retail landscape. In an April 17 news release, the company noted that it has already secured nine retail locations in Alberta and seven in British Columbia, as well as submitting 32 applications for retail permits in Saskatchewan (http://nnw.fm/oC8TP). The SGLA is expected to award permits via lottery by June 2018.
Choom’s retail plans go beyond permits and regulatory filings. In January, the company released a concept retail store design (http://nnw.fm/n2N2a), and it intends to develop a chain of branded dispensaries in jurisdictions across Canada. Supporting these plans, Choom recently entered into a binding agreement with ABcann Global Corporation (http://nnw.fm/X3eUt), one of Canada’s premier growers, through which ABcann will supply Choom with premium cannabis products, subject to regulatory approval. The company marked this deal as a strong endorsement of its strategy and a pivotal step in developing Choom as the premium retail brand in Canada’s burgeoning recreational cannabis market.
