Sundial Growers facilities

Sundial, one of the oldest and largest Canadian cannabis companies, has several large facilities including two in Alberta and one in Merritt, British Columbia. As they grow and invest, their future also appears to look up as a 420DC Hot Weed Stocks pick.

Olds, Alberta

Sundial’s flagship facility mainly grows craft cannabis at scale for the Canadian market. This facility uses purpose-built modular rooms for the cultivation of high-quality, small-batch weed, optimizing light, temperature and humidity of each “pod” for the specific strain being grown. By late 2020, the Olds facility was producing ~60 million grams of cannabis annually.

Rocky View, Alberta

Sundial’s original facility in Rocky View has been transformed into an advanced research and development operation. There they test new cultivars with different nutrients, lighting and other growing conditions. Once testing is complete, the best cultivars are selected and sent to their primary growing facility in Olds, where they are added to Sundial’s product line. Rocky View also holds a licence for processing and sales, and they perform all final quality assurance, packaging and shipment of products from this facility.

Merritt, British Columbia

In January 2019, Sundial purchased 20 acres of land zoned for cannabis production in the industrial park on the north side of the City of Merritt, B.C. Construction on the first phase of the facility began in Spring 2019. Products grown there, including their popular BC WeedCo. brand, are sold to the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch for sale to consumers in British Columbia.
