About Fire & Flower – Pembina Hwy

Fire and Flower's Pembina Highway location serves the Fort Garry neighbourhood adjacent to the University of Manitoba campus, one of Canada's largest universities with over 30,000 students. The Pembina Highway corridor is Winnipeg's primary south-north commercial spine, connecting the U of M area through Osborne Village and downtown to the northern communities. This Fire and Flower location draws a mixed academic and residential clientele, and staff are particularly experienced in assisting newer cannabis consumers working through Manitoba's range of licensed products for the first time. The University of Manitoba campus itself is a cannabis-free zone under provincial regulations, but adult students aged 19+ may legally purchase and consume off-campus.

Pembina Highway's commercial density and the University of Manitoba's large adult student population combine to give Fire and Flower a consistent and diverse customer base. The store maintains LGCA compliance and staff certification requirements year-round.
