Cannabis Retailer TREES Acquires 5 Ontario Stores, Launches First Drive-Throughs

Cannabis retailer Trees Corporation has purchased five stores in Ontario.

The cannabis retail stores previously operated under the Metro Cannabis name. 

The Toronto-based company said that the three open retail locations, including two stores in Etobicoke and one in Toronto, will operate under the TREES Cannabis brand.

The other two stores, each in Etobicoke and Toronto, are poised to launch in early summer.

Trees portfolio includes 15 Ontario-based retail cannabis locations, including five operating stores and an additional ten stores which are poised to launch over the summer and early fall.
