EDMONTON, July 3, 2019 /CNW/ – Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fire & Flower Inc. (collectively, “Fire & Flower” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FAF), today announced that it has received an additional licence to operate a cannabis retail store in Lethbridge, Alberta from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Comission (the “AGLC”).
Once opened, this store will be the 22nd Fire & Flower branded, licensed cannabis store and will be located at 2424 Fairways Plaza Road South in Lethbridge, Alberta. This announcement of an additional Alberta licensed cannabis store demonstrates Fire & Flower’s commitment to its near-term rollout schedule. The Lethbridge location has been built out and is ready for opening once final inspections occur and cannabis products are received.
The rapid rate at which the AGLC is issuing cannabis retail licenses demonstrates Alberta is open for business and this province is a leader in cannabis retail. Our recent bought deal private placement financing of $27,000,000 ensures Fire & Flower is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated store licensing.
Trevor Fencott, Fire & Flower’s Chief Executive Officer
Fire & Flower will announce the opening date and time of the Lethbridge store at its earliest opportunity on its website at www.fireandflower.com/locations/.
The Company continues to focus on opening stores in other Canadian provinces where private retail is permitted in addition to its roll out plan in Alberta.
