Aldershot Resources Ltd. Unveils New Retail Brand “YSS by Solo”, Provides Operational Update and AGM Voting Results

06.09.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

CALGARY, Sept. 06, 2018 - Aldershot Resources Ltd. d.b.a. Solo Growth Corp.™ (the “Company” or “Solo Growth”) (TSX-V: ALZ) is pleased to share our newly launched retail brand, YSS by Solo (“YSS”), featuring an iconic symbol that conveys that YSS is the trusted destination for adult-use retail cannabis. In addition, Solo Growth is pleased to provide an operational and corporate update and report on the results of voting following our annual general and special meeting (“AGM”) of shareholders held yesterday.

YSS by Solo


Solo Growth intends to leverage our extensive real estate expertise and operational acumen to become a premiere retailer and the trusted destination for adult-use cannabis. We are fully funded for the planned opening of over 60 retail cannabis locations across Alberta by the end of 2020, complemented by a calculated expansion into Ontario in 2019. We have continued to advance our business strategy and are pleased to provide an update on our achievements to date.

Highlights:

  • Construction is underway on our first three retail stores, expected to open on or about October 17, 2018.

  • An additional six development permits have been granted to Solo Growth, bringing our total number of development permits received to nine.

  • New retail branding unveiled, YSS by Solo, along with new corporate branding for Solo Growth.

  • An updated Solo Growth corporate presentation has been posted to the Company’s website at www.aldershotresources.com.

  • All resolutions were approved by shareholders at the AGM.

In conjunction with a leading national branding and design firm, we created the YSS brand to help break down stigmas in the cannabis space. The colours, packaging and identity are meant to tap into an existing relationship with type treatment that draws inspiration from directional signage and design usually associated with travel, guiding the consumer to feel at ease in the industry.

The brand is being applied across numerous retail locations in Alberta with Ontario to follow in 2019 and will act as a beacon in the cannabis industry, balancing the freshness of a new brand with the proven retail credentials and trust of the Solo Growth and Solo Liquor brand names.

“We are very excited to launch our YSS by Solo retail brand and move forward with our plans to provide an adult-use cannabis retail destination that offers customers the experience, commitment and trust they expect from the Solo team,” said Pali Bedi, President and CEO of Solo Growth. “With a total of nine development permits now granted, and construction already underway on three stores, we are proud of our team’s accomplishments in a short timeframe and look forward to continuing this momentum.”

Additional Alberta Development Permits Granted

Solo Growth has secured more than 50 retail locations in over 30 communities across Alberta. The Company has applied for Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”) licenses for all secured locations. To date, nine development permits have been granted in eight communities (Calgary, Edmonton, Fairview, Lloydminster, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Vegreville and Vermillion) and construction has commenced on three retail outlets (Lloydminster, Vegreville and Vermillion). The first three retail locations are targeted to open upon implementation of Bill C-45 on or about October 17, 2018, subject to final licensing approvals. The Company will work diligently with AGLC during the build out process to ensure full compliance with all policies and regulations. After the delivery of first inventory, the stores will open for business.

Solo Growth has well established relationships with contractors and trades in Alberta and is expected to be in a position to open two additional stores by year end with building plans underway on the remaining development permitted locations. Building on the 2018 and 2019 capital program and the progress made securing retail locations, the Company believes it is on track to meet its fully funded growth target of 25-30 locations by the end of 2019.
