HEXO Corp Announces Its Dried Flower Cannabis Products Will Now Be Available At Ontario Cannabis Store

HEXO Corp (“HEXO” or the “Company”) (TSX:HEXO, NYSE:HEXO) is pleased to announce that its dried flower cannabis products are now available to Ontario consumers, after finalizing terms with the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS).

HEXO now adds nine of its dried flower offerings in both 3.5g and 15g SKUs to the OCS, including the Company’s award-winning Helios dried flower, which was named Best Sativa at the O’Cannabiz 2019 Industry Awards.

“We are thrilled to increase our offering at the OCS,” said HEXO Corp CEO and co-founder, Sebastien St-Louis. “Apart from being our nation’s most populous province with the highest demand for cannabis products, the Ontario marketplace is among the most competitive—and we are rolling out high quality products to which we believe Ontario consumers will strongly gravitate.”

According to Statistics Canada, 15.4 per cent of Ontarians used cannabis in the last quarter of 2018, in line with the national average. Furthermore, according to a recent study from Arcview Market Research, the forecast for Ontario’s share of the national market is expected to rise by 39 per cent by 2024, which would make Ontario a $1.8-billion marketplace. “We will be allocating a significant amount of inventory to the Ontario market, considering retail demand and our goal to become the top choice for consumers in Ontario—and right across Canada,” added St-Louis.
