5Buds Cannabis is continuing its Saskatchewan growth with the opening of its 12th store, a new location in Saskatoon, at 2600 8th St E. 

The new store strengthens 5Buds’ presence in one of the province’s largest markets and reflects the company’s commitment to providing customers with exceptional service, competitive pricing, and a wide selection of cannabis products. As one of Saskatchewan’s largest independent cannabis retailers, 5Buds has expanded steadily across the province while remaining proudly Saskatchewan-owned and Indigenous-owned. 

“We are excited to be back in Saskatoon and to continue growing the 5Buds brand,” says Calvin Isackson, Managing Director of 5Buds. “Every new location allows us to serve more customers, create local jobs, and generate benefits for our owners and communities.” 

The Saskatoon opening comes during a period of strong momentum for the company. Earlier this year, 5Buds launched its new High 5 Rewards loyalty program, which has already attracted more than 12,000 members. The program rewards customers for shopping with 5Buds and has quickly become one of the company’s most successful customer engagement initiatives. 

Owned through a partnership of Indigenous investment organizations Athabasca Basin Development, Prince Albert Development Corporation and Peter Ballantyne Group of Companies, 5Buds continues to build on a model that combines business success with community impact. The new Saskatoon location will provide customers with access to an extensive range of legal cannabis products in a welcoming and knowledgeable retail environment. 

“Seeing more than 12,000 customers sign up for High 5 Rewards so quickly tells us we’re building strong relationships with our customers across Saskatchewan,” says Isackson. “That support gives us confidence as we continue to invest in new communities and new opportunities.” 

As the company looks ahead, 5Buds remains focused on strategic growth, customer loyalty, and creating opportunities throughout Saskatchewan
