12 LPs to contribute to the dispensaries gets you a lot more store fronts than doing it alone.
They might be be able to convince Alberta government that they can ship direct to their dispensary bypassing the central warehouse. This cuts out government touches and could provide more margin.

This co-op model can go into any non government owned province. BC for instance.
This is The Beer Store model from Ontario. Owned by three breweries. Profits distributed as a function of gross margins generated. Allows LP to set sale price.
