Bridlewood Gets New Canna Cabana: High Tide Inc. Expands Calgary Footprint
New Canna Cabana Lands in Calgary's Southwest
High Tide Inc. (Nasdaq: HITI, TSXV: HITI) officially opened a new Canna Cabana location at 2525 Bridlecrest Way SW on November 13, 2025. This significant expansion for the cannabis retail giant brings its total Canna Cabana store count to 215 across Canada, including 90 in Alberta and 92 in Ontario. Raj Grover, High Tide's Founder and CEO, emphasized the strategic importance of identifying and winning in key neighborhoods, a testament to their disciplined growth strategy.
Bridlewood's New Retail Hub
The new Bridlewood/Bridlecrest store strategically positions Canna Cabana, recognized as Canada's largest cannabis retail chain and the world's first cannabis discount club retailer, in a previously underserved, high-growth area of southwest Calgary. Situated within a convenient neighborhood plaza alongside existing popular tenants, this location is expected to draw increased foot traffic, diversify local retail offerings, and contribute to the community’s economic vibrancy, while securing a stronger foothold in a rapidly expanding area.
Navigating Evolving Regulations
This expansion unfolds within a dynamic regulatory landscape for cannabis in Alberta. Recent adjustments by Calgary City Council and the Province of Alberta, including updates to allow cannabis sales in designated areas at all-ages events and support for "farm-gate" sales, reflect an ongoing effort to refine and adapt the cannabis retail environment. High Tide's move aligns with a mature market strategy, seeking growth within established city planning frameworks and existing communities.
High Tide's National Momentum
High Tide Inc. is on track to meet the higher end of its 20-to-30 new-store target for 2025, demonstrating consistent and robust growth. The company has earned widespread recognition, including being named one of Canada's Top Growing Companies by the Globe and Mail's Report on Business for the fifth consecutive year in 2025, and ranking number one in the retail category on the Financial Times list of Americas' Fastest Growing Companies for 2023.
