THRIVE customers 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 is clearly positioned as the vanguard in the industry leveraging their deep 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.

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.
