FSD Pharma says the investment in Huge Shops gives the company access to a “network with a well-established consumer base.”

The plans for the stores, to be branded and operated independently from Coffee Time, are contingent on Huge Shops being granted the necessary approval by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
