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.
