Our pick for the next big recreational Marijuana brand has some exciting news today, as Choom has applied for a retail cannabis license in Manitoba. If received, it would allow Choom to operate retail cannabis stores in Manitoba.
Choom already has the rights of up to 52 retail opportunities in Western Canada, and adding Manitoba would further strengthen their their already substantial retail strategy ahead of the October 17, 2018 legalization date.
As we've said before, Choom could be set to be the next big breakout marijuana stock.

In all cases, the retail opportunities are subject to all necessary governmental and municipal approvals being granted. This number is expected to grow over the coming months as the Company is currently negotiating additional leases with the intention of submitting applications for retail licenses in multiple jurisdictions.
“Manitoba represents another step in our strategy to build one of the largest private retail networks across Canada and establishing ChoomTM as a dominant Canadian cannabis brand. The RFP process is highly competitive, and receiving one of the master licenses will give us the ability to sell directly to consumers- either in store or online.” states Chris Bogart, President and CEO of Choom. “Consumers in Manitoba can expect style and sophistication when they walk into a Choom store. The Choom brand was created exclusively to service the recreational market, ensuring curious customers and cannabis connoisseurs alike can ‘cultivate good times’. We remain committed to pursuing more retail opportunities across Canada, and Manitoba is an important part of our national strategy.”
