About Fire & Flower – 109 Street

Fire and Flower's 109 Street location was among Edmonton's earliest licensed cannabis retailers, opening in the initial wave of Alberta retail licences following federal legalisation in October 2018. Located in the Oliver neighbourhood west of downtown, this location serves a dense urban residential catchment of apartments and condominiums alongside the office and service workers who populate the area. Fire and Flower 109 Street has built a loyal regular customer base over its years of operation and is known for knowledgeable staff and a well-curated selection that balances popular brands with craft and small-batch producers. Alberta's competitive retail environment has sharpened the store's value proposition over the years.

Edmonton was one of the first major Canadian cities to have operating licensed cannabis retail, with Alberta's provincial government opting for a fully privatised model from the outset. Fire and Flower was one of the pioneer chains to open in Alberta, giving the 109 Street location a history and brand recognition that newer entrants lack.
