Popular Vancouver Mobile App TikTok Expands to Calgary

Popular Vancouver Mobile App TikTok Expands to Calgary




After 20,000 downloads in five weeks in Vancouver, mobile app TikTok is expanding to Calgary.
The Canadian tech startup chose the Alberta city "based on pre-existing demand from consumers and businesses in the area." It likely also helps that CEO and founder Dorian Banks is a former Calgarian.
"We've been receiving calls and inquiries from Calgary businesses and interested users, almost since day one," Dorian explains. "They understand the value and virility TikTok can offer, so Calgary as our next market just makes a lot of sense."
