They clearly are worried about the OCS. Obviously this would only apply to Ontario locations but that is the biggest market in Canada and the only one they have really penetrated so far.
For sure i read it-thanks for the post. It was informative ,minus the title.
And fyi they have doja cafe in BC and a TS in calgary .so ontario is not the only market they have entered so far...with halifax/vancouver/montreal/second calgary location/SEATTLE and manitoba retail license they are positioned to be coast to coast.
The
SEATTLE location is a perfect way to i intriduce
HIKU TO THE STATES MARKET-getting a reputation in the "coffee" capital of US ,SEATTLE. will bolster their REP for sure.its the perfect entree point(imo) to the biggest market in the world....
kirk often mentions about not purchasing companies to consolidate award winners under one brand HIKU. but instead to develop their own brand.But this is what they are doing by entering the states market AS AN UNKNOWN and introducing these companies products under the HIKU BRANDS TRADEMARK-developing the BRAND into a household name nationwide...
