In addition, and in conjunction with Inner Spirit's Saskatchewan franchise partners, construction has begun on the Saskatchewan flagship that is located on Main Street in Moose Jaw, and its related e-commerce site is also in development. These three sites, plus the additional 17 Spiritleaf franchise locations underway across Alberta, brings the total number of Spiritleaf stores under construction to 20.

"We are thrilled to be building the first wave of stores and establish ourselves in the hubs of Calgary and Edmonton" said Darren Bondar, President & CEO. "We continue to support our franchise partners as they move through the construction of their own Spiritleaf stores and help us grow our footprint across Western Canada." The Company has secured an additional 24 sites across BC and Alberta that are in various stages of development as provinces and municipalities process the required licenses and permits.

Inner Spirit identified Calgary's Beltline neighborhood and Edmonton's Whyte Avenue as ideal sites for corporate Spiritleaf locations. Inner Spirit acquired the Beltline location's property lease and development permit from a Spiritleaf franchise partner by issuing 1,333,334 Inner Spirit common shares at a price of $0.30 per share. "Our franchise partner's cooperation and determination are a true testament to the community-owned model that we have created where there is a spirit of collective success."
