North American Cannabis Industry Growth Set to Explode as a New Era Begins - Seite 2

Choom is executing an aggressive expansion plan to create a significant retail storefront brand in the Canadian adult use market and is committed to developing and acquiring retail stores as a top priority. In all cases, the retail opportunities are subject to all necessary governmental and municipal approvals being granted. This number is expected to grow over the coming months as the Company is currently negotiating additional leases with the intention of submitting applications for retail licenses.  

Chris Bogart, CEO of Choom Holdings Inc, comments: "Now that legalization is finally here, we are continuing to aggressively roll out our retail strategy. We see a massive opportunity in the retail market, and our goal is to build Choom into an iconic Canadian retail storefront brand. This officially marks opening day in the adult use cannabis market in Canada, and we look forward to the day when Choom is synonymous with good times with good friends from coast to coast."
