Cannabis Retail:
A Strong, Regulated Category

  • C$6B regulated retail category, growing ~9% year over year, driven by repeat purchases.
  • Proven Kindling model: target of ~$100K/month in sales per store once ramped, with an approximate 12-month break-even.
  • Designed for hands-on owner-operators who want a focused, high-performing business.
  • Current focus: Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia

The question is not
“is cannabis a real category?”,
it is “how do you do it properly?”

A single Kindling store is designed to have *sales potential comparable to owning 10 brick-and-mortar cannabis stores

*Illustrative only; results depend on location, competition, and execution.

Why Going Solo in Cannabis Is Hard

  • Building a brand from scratch in a crowded, fast-moving market.
  • Sourcing and integrating POS, e-commerce, delivery, CRM, inventory, and reporting systems yourself.
  • Managing compliance, inspections, and evolving regulations on your own.
  • Competing in SEO, Google Business, and delivery without a marketing engine behind you.

It’s a great category, but execution risk is high if you try to do everything alone.

  • You get: brand, technology, playbooks, support, and business/leadership coaching.
