Insights

Retail expansion analyst

High Tide launches its first European Canna Cabana in Berlin, leveraging a recent German distribution acquisition to begin European retail operations.

High Tide opened a flagship Canna Cabana in Berlin on Dec 1, 2025, marking its first bricks‑and‑mortar presence in Europe. The store complements the firm's recent acquisition of Remexian Pharma GmbH, a licensed German medical cannabis importer and distributor, and sits alongside the company's stated footprint of 215 domestic and 1 international location(s) and a domestic market share of 12%. This combines retail access, e‑commerce, and medical distribution into a single entry strategy.

The move's success depends on regulatory developments and effective integration of Remexian's import/distribution capabilities. Germany is explicitly described as Europe’s largest market with a population of more than 83 million and record imports exceeding 143 tonnes in the first three quarters of 2025; regulatory liberalization is cited as a key conditional factor. Execution risks include translating accessory customers into broader retail demand and integrating cross‑border supply chains.

Watch for further store openings, announcements on retail roll‑out pace, and any public updates on Germany’s regulatory changes and Remexian integration. Nearer‑term signals include additional European retail listings and formal distribution activity tied to Remexian’s license network, which currently includes imports from 19 countries.

The Company Becomes First Publicly Traded North American Cannabis Operator to Set Up Bricks-and-Mortar Presence in Europe's Largest Cannabis Market

CALGARY, AB, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that it has opened its first international Canna Cabana in Berlin, Germany—focused on cannabis accessories and consumer lifestyle goods—marking the brand's formal bricks-and-mortar entry into both Europe and the German market.

Located at Alte Schönhauser Str. 2, 10119 Berlin, the Company's newest Canna Cabana is situated in the heart of Berlin-Mitte, steps from Alexanderplatz, the political, cultural, and creative core of Berlin, and a globally recognized hub for fashion, food, art, and boutique retail. The surrounding area is home to marquee landmarks, including the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and the rapidly expanding Hackescher Markt district.

This flagship store represents the first step in High Tide's broader European retail strategy, following its recent acquisition of Remexian Pharma GmbH, a licensed medical cannabis importer and distributor based in Germany. The Berlin opening reflects the Company's commitment to growing its European presence, which encompasses bricks-and-mortar retail, e-commerce, and medical cannabis distribution across key international markets.

"Canna Cabana's potential extends far beyond Canada, and this Berlin opening is the first step in unlocking that global opportunity. Germany, with more than 83 million people, is already Europe's largest and most influential cannabis market, with government data showing imports surpassing a record 143 tonnes in the first three quarters of 2025. As cannabis usage continues to accelerate, so too will demand for Canna Cabana's cutting-edge consumption accessories," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"This bricks-and-mortar launch demonstrates our commitment to Germany for the long haul. We are closely following legislative and regulatory developments, and as Germany moves toward broader liberalization, Canna Cabana will have a meaningful head start. This is exactly how we built Canada's largest cannabis retailer—by establishing a loyal accessories following first, then seamlessly transitioning those customers into cannabis retail when the timing is right. Now, we're bringing that same winning formula to Europe," added Mr. Grover.
