British Columbia hasn’t licensed any legal cannabis stores yet, but an Alberta-based startup wants to join others expecting to establish the legal retail market here.
The company is called Fire & Flower, and on Wednesday, just as federal legislation legalizing recreational weed was headed for royal assent, it announced its intention to seek at least 20 retail licences in this province.
Where and when stores will open, however, is still up in the air, according to CEO Trevor Fencott.
“It’s not entirely clear until British Columbia comes online with its application process,” Fencott said, “(and in municipalities), what the specific zoning requirements will be.”
