Moreover, their already strong technological base and client profiles will enable them target their client base more efficiently, maximizing revenues.The latter is exemplified by the words of The Chairman and CEO of Cannabis Wheaton, Chuck Rifici who was quoted saying:

“With over 27,000 locations in Canada, convenience stores offer un-paralleled access for consumers and are well equipped to deal with age-restricted products, a category which recreational cannabis will fall squarely into. We are excited to add another strategic partner to our platform and work together to create advanced age verification technologies and explore distribution and retail opportunities for our streaming partners as we continue to grow through diversity.”
