WINNIPEG, Oct. 16, 2018
/CNW/ - DELTA 9 CANNABIS INC. (TSXV: NINE) ("Delta 9" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce legal sales of recreational
cannabis will begin at 12:01 a.m. on
Wednesday, with same day service within the city of
Winnipeg.
Delta 9 CEO John Arbuthnot says
the Company will take online orders for recreational cannabis
through its website, at delta9.ca. Orders within Winnipeg will initially be delivered in four
to five hours during the early stages of the recreational cannabis
sales rollout, but the Company has plans to accelerate delivery
times.
"Our goal in short order is to be able to deliver product to the
customer's door, anywhere in Winnipeg, in about one hour," Arbuthnot said.
"We know these first days will be extremely busy, however, but
while we work out the kinks in the new system we will still try our
best to get our products to the customer within a few hours."
Same-day delivery in Winnipeg
will be carried out by bonded carrier Pineapple Express. Deliveries
outside of Winnipeg will be
shipped by Canada Post, taking one to two days for delivery.
Recreational cannabis sales will also begin at 10 a.m. at Delta 9's first retail Cannabis
Superstore, located at 827 Dakota Street in the St. Vital area of Winnipeg. The Delta 9 store will carry a wide
range of cannabis products from Delta 9 Cannabis, Canopy Growth,
and Broken Coast Cannabis, among other suppliers.
It will also offer a wide range of accessories, and the store
will have highly trained cannabis specialists on site to answer any
questions about products or product safety.
"All of our retail employees have gone through extensive
training with the specialists at Lift & Co.," said Arbuthnot.
"We expect there will be a lot of people coming who may never have
tried cannabis, or who haven't consumed cannabis in decades, so our
training includes things like addressing the issue of impaired
driving through a program from Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
(MADD)."
The Company plans to open 4 bricks and mortar retail stores in
Manitoba during 2018 and has been
pre-qualified for the Manitoba
government's planned Request for Proposal for cannabis stores in
rural areas.
