Analysis and The Future of Cannabis Retail in Canada
The top cannabis stores vary slightly from the top selling banners or "chains" overall. The first set of lists profile the top-selling individual locations, which include independent retailers along with publicly and privately owned chains. The second set of lists compares the top-grossing "banners" or "brands" in the cannabis retail space overall (added up in total with revenue from every location they own together). Ontario is largely run by big chains, Alberta has the most "value-based" discount retailers and British Columbia has the largest number of independent and smaller local retail chains.
Cannabis retail will continue to evolve at a rapid pace in Canada and abroad. In certain areas and provinces, the contraction will continue with more stores closing than opening. In other areas, the growth of retail will continue to proliferate. Ultimately, the retailers that will be left standing [
