High Tide to Open Three New Canna Cabana Locations Across Ontario and Alberta

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it will open three new Canna Cabana branded locations across Ontario and Alberta, located in North York, Etobicoke, and Fort McMurray. These openings bring High Tide's total store count to 210 Canna Cabana branded locations across Canada, 89 in the province of Alberta and 88 in the province of Ontario.

"Momentum is clearly building across our network as we accelerate store openings in the second half of this year. Supported by our strong free cash flow profile, we continue to self-fund growth, targeting two to three new locations per month entirely from our own profits. This disciplined approach allows us to expand without relying on external capital while advancing steadily towards our stated goals," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"Just as importantly, we are focused on securing only the best real estate in markets with high growth and high revenue potential. Cities such as Fort McMurray, North York, and Etobicoke remain key to our strategy, and our multiple locations in these areas underscore our conviction in their long-term value. We expect to be announcing additional openings in the weeks and months ahead, right through to year-end," added Mr. Grover.
