Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) (OTCQX: FFLWF)’s subsidiary has received permission from regulatory authorities to operate a cross-docking pot logistics and distribution facility in Manitoba.
On Thursday, the cannabis retailer said that its subsidiary Open Fields Distribution or 10926671 Canada Ltd. has received its licence from the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba.

“Through Open Fields Distribution, we are extending cannabis distribution services into a second province in Canada, building on our success in Saskatchewan,” Fire & Flower CEO Stéphane Trudel said.
“Cross-docking distribution and logistics services in the province of Manitoba further enhances our strategic relationships with key licensed producer partners across all segments of our business and we look forward to adding efficiency and a high level of service to customers in Manitoba,” Trudel explained.
