CordovaCann Continues Retail Expansion and Opens Fourth Star Buds Cannabis Store in Ontario

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2020 / CordovaCann Corp. (CSE:CDVA)(OTCQB:LVRLF) (“Cordova” or the “Company”), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, is pleased to announce that its fourth Star Buds Cannabis Co. (“Star Buds”) branded cannabis retail store in Ontario has received confirmation from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that it can open today. This store is located at 500 Huronia Road – Unit 208 in the city of Barrie, and is operated by Cordova’s subsidiary, 2734158 Ontario Inc. This Star Buds store has begun processing online orders for in-store pickup from customers that are made through its website www.starbuds.co, and is also open to walk-in customers. The official grand opening of the store is scheduled for Friday, December 18, 2020 and Saturday December 19, 2020.

Cordova is continuing its expansion plan by opening numerous Star Buds cannabis retail stores across Canada and expects to open additional stores in the coming months. The Company’s first four stores are generating strong revenue and profits, giving the Company increased confidence in its retail business model in Canada. The Innisfil and Winnipeg stores have been opened less than a month and continue to contribute nicely to the growth of the Company. In the last week the four stores have generated combined revenues of $202,634 with a gross margin of 35.9%. This equates to a run rate of over $10.5 million in annual gross revenues. As marketing initiatives commence and the Company achieves greater customer awareness the store revenues and profitability of the most nascent two stores are expected to increase considerably.

“We are excited to be opening our fourth store in Ontario, and the province has proven to be a great market for the launch of Star Buds cannabis retail stores,” stated Taz Turner, Chairman and CEO of Cordova. “We have an incredible team executing our rollout strategy and are gaining momentum in our pace of store openings. The early success of these stores demonstrates the pent-up demand for cannabis products in underserved areas. Initial indications show if we build it they will come, and we are looking forward to opening our first stores in Alberta and British Columbia soon.”
