EDMONTON, Oct. 25, 2018 /CNW/ - Independent corporate cannabis retailer Fire & Flower has received a significant replenishment of inventory to its three shops in Alberta today. Customers at the shops in Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan and St. Albert will now once again be able to select from a wide range of cannabis products.
"The response from our guests during our first week of operations has been overwhelming. We anticipated a strong consumer demand and it has surpassed our expectations," said Mike Vioncek, Chief Operating Officer, Fire & Flower. "We are pleased that our partners at Health Canada licenced producers and the AGLC are working closely with us to deliver the products our guests are looking for in a timely manner. We can hardly wait to bring our exceptional customer service to even more people across the country in the weeks and months ahead as we prepare to open more shops."
Fire & Flower shops supply expertly curated Health Canada-regulated products through an education-based, socially responsible retailing experience and are staffed by highly-trained cannistas who help guests understand the products available and provide advice to ensure guests have an enjoyable and safe experience once they get home. The company's robust security protocol also ensures the highest standards of safety for the communities in which its shops operate, including a two-step age verification process to prohibit purchases by minors, extensive community engagement and programs to promote responsible use.
