CALGARY, March 22, 2019 /CNW/ – Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. (“Inner Spirit” or the “Company”) (CSE:ISH) today announced Daniel Telio, one of the initial 25 retail cannabis lottery winners in Ontario as selected by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”), has partnered with the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Spirit Leaf Inc. (“Spirit Leaf”), and has been granted an operating licence for a retail cannabis store in Kingston, Ontario. The partnership between Spirit Leaf and Mr. Telio is through a brand licensing arrangement approved by AGCO.

“We’re very pleased our Spiritleaf store will be one of the first to open in the province and that it’s happening in the heart of Kingston on Princess Street. We have a strong connection to Kingston as we support the Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund to promote reconciliation efforts in the country and have an ongoing relationship with Newstrike Brands and Up Cannabis, which partners with The Tragically Hip. The opportunity to place Spiritleaf stores in key locations like this across the country will grow our brand and drive business growth,” said Darren Bondar, President and CEO of Inner Spirit.

The Company, through Spirit Leaf, has 20 franchise agreements in place for the Ontario market in anticipation of the Government of Ontario’s plans to issue additional retail licences starting in December 2019. The Company intends to open, or license to others the right to open, up to the maximum 75 stores allowable under current provincial government guidelines.

The Company has five Spiritleaf retail franchise stores open and operating in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Spiritleaf franchise partners are preparing to open additional locations across the country, subject to gaining final municipal and provincial approvals. Spiritleaf corporate outlets are also being prepared for openings across Alberta.
