Weekend Unlimited Inc., which has an armâs length agreement to acquire a 49 percent interest in Northern Lights Supply, reports that the latter company recently opened its 6,500 sq. ft. retail space in Nisku, Alta.

Â
âWith very little promotion, our grand opening achieved sales of $27,000 (approximately 35 percent margin) and our customers provided terrific feedback, mainly that they appreciated an education-focused experience in the store, something we see as our number one priority,â Derek Shields, president of Northern Lights Supply, notes in a statement from Weekend Unlimited.
âWe look forward to becoming an active member of our business community and are excited to be working with the Leduc and District Chamber of Commerce in establishing cannabis education seminars for business scheduled in early March,â Shields says.
Touted as one of the largest approved retail cannabis stores in Alberta, Northern Lights Supply is located âat the intersection to Canadaâs largest oilfield industrial park, along Albertaâs busiest corridor, Highway 2, and opposite the Edmonton International Airport,â Weekend Unlimited notes in a statement.
Â
Â
âNorthern Lights Supply was designed to take advantage of the upcoming edible and infused cannabis products scheduled to be legal in the fall of 2019,â reports the company, which aggregates and scales small to medium brands, primarily in the categories of flower, extracts and edibles.
