[{"type":"text","content":"RUM Reports Q3 Financial Results for the Period Ended September 30, 2025EDMONTON, AB / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / Rocky Mountain Liquor Inc. (TSX-V:RUM) (the \"Company\" or \"Rocky Mountain\"), listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the \"Exchange\"), today reported its financial results for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025.KEY OPERATING AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSGross margins improved for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
