TORONTO, May 1, 2020 /CNW/ – Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fire & Flower Inc. (collectively, “FFHC”, “Fire & Flower” or the “Company”) (TSX: FAF OTCQX: FFLWF), today announced the Company will begin home delivery in the greater Toronto area starting immediately.
Customers located in select areas within the greater Toronto area are now able to order online from Fire & Flower’s e-commerce website at www.fireandflower.com for free next day home delivery on orders over $50.00.
In addition to the curbside pickup and home delivery offered in Ottawa and Kingston, Ontario, the technology powering home delivery in Toronto is enabled through the Hifyre™ Digital Retail and Analytics Platform.
Fire & Flower welcomes this opportunity to demonstrate how private cannabis retail can showcase fully-compliant best-in-class services such as e-commerce, home delivery and curbside pickup to our customers. It is essential that private retail is able to compete on a level playing field with government-run e-commerce and home delivery cannabis services.
Trevor Fencott, Chief Executive Officer of Fire & Flower
Through the Hifyre Digital Retail and Analytics platform, we are well positioned should other methods of servicing customers open across Canadian provinces.
The Government of Ontario announced an emergency order that was approved by the provincial cabinet on April 7, 2020 that allows cannabis retail stores to safely operate through online, curbside pickup and home delivery services for the duration of the emergency order on business closures in relation to COVID-19. Fire & Flower services including home delivery and e-commerce curbside pickup are permitted under the emergency order announced by the Government of Ontario.
