Canna Cabana expands
High Tide's Canna Cabana expands to Ottawa, Ontario, with new store opening in 2026
Anonymous
High Tide Inc. is opening a new Canna Cabana cannabis store in Ottawa, Ontario, on July 23, 2026, according to Ottawa Sun. The location will bring the company's total Canadian store count to 229, with 104 of those in Ontario alone.
The new store sits in Findlay's Creek, a fast-growing suburb in south Ottawa. More than 25,000 people live within five kilometres of the site, making it a prime spot for foot traffic and local demand, Leader Post reported.
Findlay's Creek Location Targets a Booming Ottawa Suburb
Findlay's Creek is one of Ottawa's fastest-growing communities. High Tide chose it specifically because of the dense, growing population nearby. A customer base of over 25,000 people within five kilometres gives the new store a strong local market from day one, Recorder noted.
The opening is part of High Tide's steady push into Ontario. With 104 stores now in the province, Ontario has become a key growth market for the company. The Findlay's Creek store adds to that footprint in the nation's capital.
Canna Cabana Is the World's Second-Largest Cannabis Retail Brand
Canna Cabana, High Tide's wholly-owned retail brand, is the second-largest cannabis retail brand in the world. The brand operates stores across Canada and also runs several global e-commerce platforms selling accessories and CBD products, Fort McMurray Today reported.
High Tide trades on major stock exchanges and has built its business around a value-focused retail model. The company argues that offering customers more for less is what sets it apart from rivals in a crowded cannabis market.
CEO Raj Grover Bets on Value as the Winning Strategy
High Tide founder and CEO Raj Grover says the company's edge comes from how it serves customers. He believes High Tide's "greatest competitive advantage" is its ability to "deliver exceptional value through a differentiated retail model," according to Calgary Herald.
That model has fueled rapid expansion. Growing from zero to 229 stores across Canada reflects a clear strategy: scale fast, keep prices competitive, and plant stores in high-growth communities like Findlay's Creek.
High Tide's Ontario Push Shows No Signs of Slowing
Ontario is now home to 104 of High Tide's 229 Canadian stores. That means nearly half of its entire national network sits in a single province. The Findlay's Creek opening is the latest signal that Ontario remains central to the company's growth plan, Owen Sound Sun Times reported.
High Tide has not said when or where it will open store number 230. But with Ottawa still developing and other Ontario markets growing, the company appears ready to keep expanding well into 2026 and beyond, according to Seaforth Huron Expositor.
