The vertically integrated cannabis company said the new store is 3,200 square feet and is located at 2081 Pembina Highway in the Southwest corner of Winnipeg, the focal point for over half a million square feet of retail businesses making it one of the city’s larger shopping destinations. Other tenants within a 5-kilometre radius include Shoppers Drug, Home Depot, Walmart Super Center, Canadian Tire, Dollarama, and Real Canadian Super Store.

Delta 9 said the location enjoys a traffic count of over 50,000 cars a day and is well-appointed to service over 75,000 people living nearby with an average household income of $100,000 per year. It offers plenty of free parking spaces, excellent visibility, and easy access from the street.

"We expect to continue expanding our retail portfolio across Canada through organic growth and strategic acquisitions in the coming months,” CEO John Arbuthnot said in a statement.

“This growth strategy has worked well in the past and has been a successful part of the company’s overall vertical integration strategy.”

The company said the new store will offer customers a modern shopping décor, highly trained staff and a wide range of products, including dried cannabis flower, cannabis oil, edibles, drinkables, vape pens, concentrates and more. Like all its other stores in Manitoba, it will also provide online and click and collect services for the Pembina Store like all of its other cannabis stores in Manitoba.

Delta 9, one of Canada’s original cannabis companies, sells products through its wholesale and retail sales channels and sells its cannabis grow pods to other businesses. The firm’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta 9 Bio-Tech Inc., is a licensed producer of medical and recreational cannabis and operates an 80,000 square foot production facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Delta 9 owns and operates a chain of retail stores under the Delta 9 Cannabis Store brand.
