will be able to verify identification, research products, place orders, order
ahead, auto-repeat orders, gain loyalty rewards with CocoonRewards™, make
payments with cash or bank cards, and make charitable contributions directly
through the kiosk or mobile application.
"THRIVE

understanding and experience in building some of the greatest brands in the
U.S. cannabis space today," states Scott Dowty, CEO of AUSA. "Their
commitment to technology and process maximizes operational efficiencies, with a
keen focus on ensuring the customer experience is always top-of-mind and is the
ideal environment for Cocoon to have an immediate and material impact. The
Cocoon model delivers recurring software revenue, recurring maintenance fee
revenue, one-time hardware revenue, and development revenue as we work with our
partners to customize their applications to best suit their unique
requirements."
Cocoon's
PAAS incorporates the most robust customer-facing omni-commerce technology
including kiosks and mobile applications interfaced with the most popular ERP
systems and payment portals, and is custom developed to support unique regulatory
compliance requirements and privacy legislation by jurisdiction. CocoonPod™
kiosks provide maximum convenience to new and returning customers; a private
experience; vibrant and consumer-friendly user interfaces, custom screen flows,
call to action offers and advertising options; quick reading code and marketing
redemption; ability to accept, recycle and reconcile cash; a powerful
proprietary loyalty platform with customization options and remote real-time
data analytics.
"We
have been searching for a technology solution to streamline our expanding
operations and are always pushing to improve our customer's experience,"
said Mitch Britten, CEO of THRIVE. "Cocoon will enable THRIVE to further

High
Tide Inc. (CSE:HITI) (OTCQB:HITIF), an
Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis corporation enhanced by the
manufacturing and wholesale distribution of smoking accessories and cannabis
lifestyle products, announced that it
has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement with 2651576 Ontario
Inc., a private Ontario company, to acquire the remaining 49.9% interest in
High Tide's majority-owned subsidiary, KushBar Inc. Pursuant to the Definitive
Agreement, High Tide, which presently holds a controlling interest of 50.1% in
KushBar, will acquire the Minority Interest in a transaction that will result
in KushBar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of High Tide. It is anticipated
that the Transaction will close on or about December 12, 2019.
The Transaction
marks a crucial step in High Tide's strategy to capitalize on the second wave
of the legalization of recreational cannabis products, including but not
limited to concentrates, edibles and infused beverages, which are expected to
be available in Alberta in early 2020. "High Tide's goal has always been
to exceed the expectations of cannabis consumers and elevate their retail
experience. The acquisition of the remaining stake in the 3 operating KushBar
stores in Camrose, Lloydminster and Morinville, with the fourth location
opening in Medicine Hat shortly, will enable us to build on our retail strategy
to help meet the upcoming increase in demand expected from Cannabis 2.0
products," said Raj Grover, High Tide's President & Chief Executive
Officer. "As we move closer towards the new year, we are excited for what
Cannabis 2.0 will have in store for High Tide and its customers," added
Mr. Grover.
