During this past quarter, the SQDC opened three new outlets in Joliette, Gatineau and Granby. It now boasts a total of 16 outlets across the province.
According to its quarterly report, the SQDC’s main expenses were on salaries, which totaled $3.4 million. Operation costs reached $2.3 million.
The cannabis society also added new providers to its roster to offer more products and provide a stable supply.
Shortly after opening, the SQDC had to slash its opening hours because there was not enough supply to satisfy the demand of consumers.
In May, the government-run organization started running every day after managing its supply issues.
