Canada Prepares for 420: Canadian #Cannabis Companies Establishing an Online Presence (TSXV: $WL.V) (TSXV: $FAF.V) (TSXV: $OGI.V) (TSXV: $VIVO.V)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 4, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks concludes our two part series looking at the Canadian cannabis landscape and the numerous companies ensuring not only a brick and mortar footprint, but also creating a significant online e-commerce presence as well.

With the many supply shortages the Canadian cannabis market has faced since legalization last year, having the store’s menus and the capability of reserving products online for pickup just might be the way for Canadian cannabis consumers to beat the low inventory situation. Grab, a new legal cannabis app based in Canada, is set to launch in the Alberta and Ontario markets this April. The developers of the app performed extensive research which showed that many Canadians want the convenience of shopping Canada's best cannabis stores from the comfort of their own homes. They also noted that 90% of the cannabis consumers surveyed would like to have the option to reserve their favourite products for in-store pickup using a mobile app.

Apps like this can be expected to pop up more frequently as the Canadian cannabis market expands and many retail companies are paying close attention to this and are ensuring a proper online presence to compliment their retail footprint.

Westleaf Inc. (TSX-V: WL) (OTCQB: WSLFF), set to become one of Canada’s largest premium cannabis retailers, recently announced that it has launched its e-commerce site for sales across the entire province of Saskatchewan. The retail site at www.prairierecords.ca provides consumers in the province, convenient online access to a wide variety of products through the unique Prairie Records retail concept, which combines music and cannabis in an engaging online experience.

"The launch of online retail is an important next step in rolling out the Prairie Records brand across Saskatchewan and the rest of Western Canada over the coming months," said Scott Hurd, President and CEO of Westleaf. "The province of Saskatchewan has proven to be a positive regulatory environment to launch our retail operations and we are pleased it is the first jurisdiction with a Prairie Records online presence."

"By extending the Prairie Records brand across Saskatchewan, we will continue to build awareness around the unique retail experience both in-store and online, which we believe will help build a strong customer base," said Adam Coates, Chief Commercial Officer at Westleaf.

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSXV: FAF) (OTC:FFLWF), recently announced the successful first month operation of its cannabis Click & Collect service.

The Click & Collect service allows age-verified adult-use cannabis consumers to reserve cannabis and accessory products for pickup at stores across the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The service was launched as part of the Company's mission to curate the world of cannabis for its customers who seek a more convenient and informative buying experience. Certain cannabis products sell out rapidly, and the Click & Collect service ensures customers are able to reserve high-demand products and receive priority service when visiting a store.

"The Click & Collect service has been adopted very favourably, particularly by our loyal customers using mobile devices," shared Trevor Fencott, Fire & Flower's Chief Executive Officer. "We are seeing rapid and continuous growth in use of our Click & Collect service across the entire Fire & Flower retail network."

Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSXV: OGI) (OTC: OGRMF), the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis is also taking full advantage of online capabilities, having announced the release of a cross-platform, patient-focused mobile application.

The Application is designed to offer patients greater convenience in optimizing their medication regimen and stay up-to-date on products, programs and company news. Through this new Application, registered patients are able to: order medical cannabis products and accessories, manage their patient profile, view past orders and order limits, read the latest Organigram news and press releases and communicate with Client Care representatives.

"When it comes to managing their medication, patients have indicated to us that convenience and ease are important to them. This new tool gives patients greater ease of control over their wellness plans," says Organigram CEO, Greg Engel.

VIVO Cannabis Inc. (TSX-V: VIVO) (OTCQX: VVCIF), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canna Farms Limited, has also announced the launch of their own online resource with Canna Farms' integrated online medical cannabis website.

"Canna Farms' integrated online store will cater to discerning medical cannabis consumers," said Daniel Laflamme, President of Canna Farms. "In addition to offering award-winning Canna Farms and Beacon Medical brands, the site will serve as a marketplace for products from other licensed producers who share VIVO's commitment to delivering premium products and services focused on health and wellness."

The fact that so many cannabis sales companies are combining brick and mortar and online “grab and go” options falls in line with current global retail trends. Gone are the days of “just online” or “just retail” sales and we see this strongly evidenced with large scale companies like Walmart and Amazon, the online retailer who has now begun opening brick and mortar stores. As Canada readies itself for 420, companies merging the digital and physical sides of their business will certainly stand a higher chance of success at capturing sales.

Khiron Life Sciences Corp., a vertically integrated cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America, announced today that it has signed multi-channel distribution agreements for its Kuida® cosmeceutical brand with Fedco and Linio, two of the most prominent consumer distribution channels for wellness and beauty products in Colombia. In combination with the initial product launch through Farmatodo and Farmalisto, it is anticipated that the Kuida® brand will now be made available in up to 78 retail locations and through the country's leading online portal for beauty products. Initially focused on distribution in Colombia, these agreements create potential for the Company to further expand distribution across other Latin America jurisdictions.

Alvaro Torres, CEO and a Director of Khiron, comments: "These agreements with Fedco and Linio further deliver on our market strategy for Kuida® and provide the flexibility to tap into cross-selling opportunities as consumers increasingly adopt CBD based cosmeceuticals into their skincare regimen. We look forward to working with some of the largest retailers in Colombia as the Kuida® brand increases its presence in the marketplace and is positioned for future growth."

"Monthly revenue in March was over $5 million based on only 15% of the total square footage we have on-site, adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. To our knowledge, these results are better than what we have seen from any dispensary in the U.S. Customers have shown a desire to engage in an ultra-premium cannabis experience and with an unparalleled, diverse range of high-quality products, and unique entertainment value, the SuperStore is the only property that meets this customer need. In March, almost 100,000 people entered our dispensary, and other companies are starting to realize the value of our shelves, we are in negotiations with multiple companies to sell premium shelf space and advertising. The Phase II expansion, which includes a coffee shop, pizzeria bistro, an event space, and a consumer-facing production facility is all about building on the success of the SuperStore. Each piece of Phase II is carefully designed to drive additional traffic and cement the SuperStore as a must-visit destination when in Las Vegas."

The company also announced today that it has launched its third wholly-owned brand, Leaf & Vine, following the significant success of its Medizin line of connoisseur focused products and the TRENDI line of compact, easy-to-use disposable vape and concentrate products.

Canada Prepares for #420: Canadian #Cannabis Companies Open Their Doors for April

Canada Prepares for #420: Canadian #Cannabis Companies Open Their Doors for April

Stocks Discussed - Westleaf Inc. (TSXV: $WL.V) (OTCQB: $WSLFF), Choom Holdings (CSE: $CHOO.C) (OTC: $CHOOF), Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSXV: $FAF.V), Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: $LIFT.V) (OTC: $LFCOF)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 3, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases the first of a two part series focusing on the Canadian cannabis landscape as companies prepare to have stores open and products available for April 20th (aka 420); the preeminent cannabis celebration.

Recreational cannabis may have been legalized in Canada on October 17th, 2018 but there is still much to be desired with regards to infrastructure and retail availability. That is thankfully about to change because many companies throughout Canada are now in the final phases of retail and product development, and most are using the month of April for a promotional launch platform as many Canadian’s gear up for 420.

Westleaf Inc. (TSX-V: WL) (OTCQB: WSLFF), set to become one of Western Canada’s largest premium cannabis retailers, is looking to make the most of April. They announced plans to open two Prairie Records stores in Saskatoon by April 20, in celebration of the day that was synonymous with cannabis legalization activities. Under a license agreement, the two stores are being built out under the Prairie Records brand by the current license holders. Prairie Records currently has a store operating in Warman, Saskatchewan, approximately 20 minutes from Saskatoon.

"Saskatoon and all of Saskatchewan is proving to be one of the strongest cannabis retail markets in Canada as the sector continues to evolve and mature," says Scott Hurd, President and CEO of Westleaf. "We have the opportunity to deal directly with licensed producers in stocking our shelves, we are able to sell online across the province through our e-commerce platform, and the ratio of stores to market size make Saskatoon an ideal location to operate cannabis retail."

The two stores, both in premium locations are planned to open in time to celebrate April 20^th, the day associated with the push to legalize cannabis. "While Prairie Records creates a unique and totally different cannabis retail experience, we do want to recognize the day that activists used to bring attention to the injustice of the illegalization of cannabis for many years," noted Adam Coates, Chief Commercial Officer at Westleaf. "We are planning some exciting events around the opening of these stores, bringing together the community in celebration of local music and to highlight the relationship between music and cannabis."

Aurora Cannabis recently released an update on its investment activities in Choom Holdings (CSE: CHOO) (OTC: CHOOF), a consumer cannabis company connected to the largest retail network in Canada.

Aurora invested $27 million in the Choom’s private placement and the convertible debenture offering. During the past year, Choom secured 22 cannabis retail opportunities in Alberta and British Columbia and completed the acquisition of Clarity Cannabis Medical Centres, which included five new medical centers and a telemedicine platform.

Last month, the company completed the build-out of a customized e-commerce channel through a licensed enterprise-level platform and signed a deal to acquire Clarity Cannabis Retail Stores in Alberta, adding 30 retail locations in Alberta, 3 of which have been licensed by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission.

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSXV: FAF), announced the opening of Fire & Flower York Street Cannabis, Ontario's first Fire & Flower branded store in Ottawa's ByWard Market on April 1st. This location is the tenth Fire & Flower branded licensed cannabis shop in Canada, and recently achieved opening day system sales in excess of $50,000.

"Today is an exciting day for Fire & Flower as we introduce our retail experience to the Ontario market and marks another important stage of our growth strategy," shared Trevor Fencott, Chief Executive Officer of Fire & Flower. "Our retail team has worked alongside our Ottawa license holder to build out a best-in-class cannabis retail shop as private cannabis retail is introduced to consumers in Ontario."

It’s one thing to have these stores open but they will need employees to work them. As Ontario launched its cannabis retail sales on April 1, 2019, Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTC: LFCOF) announced that the Company has granted more than 600 CannSell certificates to the Province's aspiring cannabis retail employees since launching CannSell just over one month ago. In total, more than 1,500 Ontarians have created a CannSell profile, and nearly 800 have enrolled in the mandatory, accredited training program that the CBC calls "like Smart Serve, but for cannabis." Interest in CannSell has accelerated leading up to the opening of Ontario retail stores on April 1, with more than a third of CannSell sales and certificates coming within the last week.

These announced numbers signal an overwhelming demand by prospective budtenders to enter the industry and the Company's ability to influence them through CannSell. Cannabis retail employees play a central role in cannabis purchases. A recent US survey indicates that more than 90% of consumers strongly consider the retail employee's recommendation when making a cannabis purchase.

Canadian legal recreational cannabis is still very much in its infancy stage but with the many dispensary and retail operations expected to open in April and May, both investors and Canadian consumers will have a chance to really see what national recreational cannabis looks like. This year’s 420 celebration will be one for the books as many Canadian cannabis enterprises look to celebrate the end of a long wait and for the Canadian cannabis industry to really take off and mature.
