| | | | | | | | How Fire & Flower's co-location deal with Alimentation Couche-Tard may put a dent in the illicit market
Canada may need much more than the 1,000-odd licensed cannabis stores if policymakers are serious about stamping out the illicit market. That's what Fire & Flower CEO Trevor Fencott told BNN Bloomberg on Monday after his company announced a pilot project with Alimentation Couche-Tard to co-locate some pot stores next to convenience stores. Fire & Flower will open two pot shops that will be carved out of existing Circle K convenience stores in Calgary and Grand Prairie, Alta., but will be fully enclosed and secured to abide by regulatory requirements. Fencott said that the companies have already identified a "significant number" of Alimentation Couche-Tard convenience stores to expand the pilot project across the country, but didn't provide specific figures. He identified Saskatchewan and Ontario as possible markets to co-locate a similar store model. | |
