- Company has Equity Stakes and Supply Agreements With Three Major Retail Partners
- Budget Announced Major Expansion of Cannabis Retail Licences in Canada’s Largest Province
TORONTO, April 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aleafia Health Inc. (TSX: ALEF) (OTCQX: ALEAF) (FRA: ARAH) (“Aleafia Health” or the “Company”), is applauding the Government of Ontario’s commitment to significantly expand private retail cannabis licences in Canada’s largest province.
ROBUST PRIVATE RETAIL FOOTPRINT
Aleafia Health boasts a robust private cannabis retail strategy with national reach including equity stakes and supply agreements with three major retailers;
- Emblem Corp. which is wholly-owned by Aleafia Health signed a five-year supply and preferred vendor agreement with Compass Cannabis Clinics (“Compass”) for Starbuds Canada in addition to taking an equity stake in Compass;
- Additionally, Aleafia Health owns an equity stake in leading cannabis retailer Fire & Flower;
- And the Company also owns a 10 percent equity stake in the emerging One Plant (Retail) Corp. a cannabis retail joint-venture with Serruya Private Equity
“By allowing the private sector to operate in a regulated environment, the Government of Ontario is improving consumer access, stifling the illicit market of unsafe cannabis and ultimately improving public safety,” said Aleafia Health Chairman Julian Fantino. “Increasing the number of retail locations will mean fewer illicit dispensaries selling unregulated products. The Budget sends a clear message that Ontario is ‘Open for Business,’ but only to responsible business owners who play by the rules and prioritize public safety.”
