the thing that is really funnyare the posts from detractors stating the Alberta market is saturated and that their bets on other is much better than any other retailer in the market. And to be totally fair, the too the moon posts are a riot also.
Some simple facts,
306 licences in Alberta, hardly over saturated when most analysts agree 500+ is the likely outcome by 2021
Spirit Leaf has the most retails in Canada, yes a slight lead, but its really funny when detractors say its doomed
Ontario just said it would open doors, and franchising is the quickest to market in any channel, do some dd please
Franchising has the least overhead and risk is spread, that is why the model works, and yes, corporate stores have a place, that is why there is a FAF, META, CHOO, HITI, WL, please look at the charts before confirming obvious stupidity
Market is in its infancy, not saturated, not doomed, just getting started
LP's went nuts and are back to reality, retail was never caught up in that huge boom and bust
Every retailers SP is down from where it was a year ago
Efficacy of pot is still being studied for medicinal use, there are many studies showing positive outcomes, its recreational use is unquestionable except from the prohibitionists in the crowd who will argue that the sky isn't really blue, the earth is only 6000 years old and are 99.99% sure it is flat.
Any poster who claims they know one poster or another has lost or made money has Trumpmouth, and yes, I voted for him, and I will again, you can keep your juniormint selfie guy, thanks for the free oil, my wallet thanks me.
If you have personal issues with management, feel free to continously state it, over and over, but please leave the discussion about business models to the adults, otherwise the posts just come off as cranky people with a personal vendetta, over and over again. If its personal, suggest you do the adult thing and take it up directly with Bondar, it may take a heavy burden off your chest, better for your health.
I have to end with a very big thank you to spartan, you have saved my life, thanks for letting me know something is wrong and you have let us all know your out, your a saviour, FY.
Its Christmas next week, so Merry Christmas to everyone, and I have to say this now - if you don't celebrate, don't take offense because I really don't care if you do and that was never the intent of the celebration, ever, ever, ever, just enjoy the days you get off because of it, and spread some goodwill.
Good luck
