Business growing at Delta 9
The CEO of Winnipeg-based Delta 9 said business has grown so much during the pandemic, he's had to hire more than 75 new employees — a 30 per cent increase in the cannabis producer and retailer's workforce.
"Stores are quite busy, we're seeing increased foot traffic, we're seeing bigger cart sizes, things like that," said John Arbuthnot, adding most of the employees have come from the hospitality industry, which has experienced massive layoffs in the past months.

(Austin Grabish/CBC) The young budding entrepreneur said the company has tried to adapt, with changes like its new click-and-collect service. Customers can place an order online and drive to a store, where a staff member checks ID through the window of a car and then put the product in the trunk.
There is never any physical contact between staff and customers, he said.
Arbuthnot attributes the rise in sales to new edibles that have recently rolled into the market, more people staying at home with free time and the recent elimination of a black market delivery service in Winnipeg that police busted.
"But of course like every business, we're struggling with certain supply chain issues, access to personal protective wear for our production operations ... but again, feel that we're very fortunate to have been able to continue to operate throughout the crisis."
